    At least none of the panels are upside down or rotated 45 degrees.

    (Snort). As someone who’s dealt with collation and (much much worse) automated collation of submissions… and (I’m imagining this one) automated collation of submissions made by people who are not all that technical… I’m always amazed that ANYTHING ever comes out as expected.

    If he really wanted to make it look like the panels were messed with, he should have put them in random order instead of just reversing them.

    Of course, I still enjoyed it. After a while, though, I could see where it was going. At first I was a bit confused by this strip.

    Because the strip puts bread on the table and the satire is very witty. Not to mention relatable characters.
