Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for September 06, 2023

And don’t let your parrot Josh speak for you or you will be here for a bigger ailment.

okay … but i thought whispering was even worse than trying to talk regular when you have laryngitis.

And any exclamations should be made in small exclaims court.

ok i’ll do it.

Love it!

So now he will have lower-yngitis?

He doesn’t have laryngitis, he’s got comic strip throat.

He never speaks at ALL

Is he also hard of hearing?

makes perfect sense… for a comic, cartoon character. ;)

True meaning is in the sound of the words. Writing is just a formula for how to say the words. I learnt that from those scholars up at the University of Chicago who read cuniform like you and I read the local newspaper.

okay Mr. Wilson – let’s see if you follow the doc’s advice, shall we?

Oh, keep your pants on, Doc.

Someone should tell the inker.

Avoid italics and bold text until your throat recovers.

Didn’t Henry have this problem?

And… “Please use a smaller font. No bold letters. Perhaps only use subscript.”

Use an indoor font only.

Use the font that they printed his diploma with.

So let’s all pay attention to the strips for the rest of the week to see if Tom Junior keeps up with that plot element.

I wanted to mention a certain poet who used lower case letters but got a message that his name in on Go Comics banned list.
