View Full Version : It's a typo! Or is it?

Hello to all you people. I noticed that whenever a new comic comes out, if it has a typo two dozen people will make threads about that specific typo (Regardless if other people have noticed or not). I think it would be interesting to find all of the "typos" in the main comic, along with where it's found. It would be interesting because there is always someone who can find a loophole on why it's *not* a typo (which I fully embrace).

One of three things will happen to this thread.

A: It's Six-Gunned by Roland.

B: Everyone loves it and it lives happily ever after.

C: People hate it but it just stays there and bruises my ego.

Without further Ado I give you: "It's a typo! Or is it?"

Panel one, comic 597: Rock on, self buddy! (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0597.html)

Edit:
I remember people discussing whether that was a typo or not, and Rich himself posted and said it isn't.

See? This is exactly the point of the thread, both for pointing out something truly isn't a typo, or having fun making up a reason. I truly thought that was a typo.

I think you may have found the one typo in the hundreds of OOTS comics.

She is secretly an elf. Thats the only thing that makes sense. The Giant is infallible. By "ourelves" she obviously means her children.

This has been done before. Besides what you just did, pointing out something that wasn't a mistake, it's also really pointless and mean spirited. He's not going to go back to change them, and so this just becomes "Hey, let me point out every mistake you've ever made!".

There are hundreds of typos, it's just that most of them are too obscure to notice or *might* not be a typo, so nobody mentions them. Take the first comic, What the hell? That goblin was gonna kick you on your ass. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html) Usually "in" would have been used instead of "on", but it's so old of a comic, so unnoticeable and might even be there on purpose that people never put a thread on it. That's the type of stuff I'm looking for here.

Edit: Ouch. Ninjad by a person with conflicting views. Personally, I think of this as a treasure hunt and in the end, we'll try to find the code in the typos to unlock the meaning of life.

It's knock not kick which makes perfect sense with on.

Sheriff of Moddingham: If you think there's cause for me to lock a thread, try not starting it in the first place. :smallannoyed:

In this case, there is already a thread on this topic.
