Hi. I'm not sure if this goes here, but I felt that Rich might have a chance of seeing it, so here goes.

I was reading through the archive and discovered that Haley's speech bubble in panel 1 of #695 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0695.html) is missing its pointy thing (is there a term for it?) tail.

Just thought someone ought to know.

According to Wikipedia, it's called a "tail" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_balloon#Speech_bubbles

He knows :)

He very rarely (never?) fixes errors like this in the strip, but I can all but guarantee you at least fifty people mentioned it when the strip first came out.

Thank you though!

It will probably be fixed in the book version...

He still hasn't provided the translation for one of the first encrypted speech bubbles in NCFTPB. Don't hold your breath, for he has better things to do than minor patches.

Giving Mrs Giant a shoulder rub, for instance.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure, so I felt I'd try. :smallsmile:

Which one? I just read my copy and it has translations for all of them...

I think there is only one Mrs. Giant. :smalltongue:

Which one, I've been having fun translating all of them, so I should have it

Just re-checked my copy of NCftPB, and at the start of Round 9, it's mentioned that due to a "printing error" (he forgot to give them to the printer), the translations for a few of Haley's speech bubbles were left out of the first printing. Is that the ones you're talking about, maybe? (Strips 291, 296, and 298.)

Nope, it's the first comic after her speech impediment kicked in. The point where she's complaining about getting eaten (and thrown up) by a dragon.
