Found any typoes? Post them here! This is not a thread to point out Rich's mistakes, he is the god of awesome, but I'm tired of cluttering up the forums with whole threads about just one thing like "Ooh look in strip 144 Thog is talking normal!" or "OMG Haley's bubble in the last panel of strip 319 isn't see-through!" So, please don't make any more entire threads for a single typo. Post them here, please.

Every time you make a thread about one typo, Thog eats a pie. Thog doesn't want to get fat.

Movkingbird, I salute you.

EDIT: Irony. A typo in a typo thread.

It was inevitable. When someone points out a minor mistake on the internet, about 80% of the time the post in which he does so has a mistake itself. So if it wasn't you, it would've been someone.

He's looking the other way, piestandsalone.

Heh. I'm sure someone's pointed this out before. But if history has in fact been made, here, go with "skink's law". The nickname has evolved as I've moved around, but the original works better.

You know what? Never mind. I'd get ten billion internet geeks doing mathematical analyses of mistake frequency that prove me wrong...

"HA! It's actually 78.482%!!!"

The irony would be too much.

In the fourth panel of 431, the Death Knights green amulet is just hanging there, guess the giant forgot the necklace.

No, it's there. It's really dark, but you can see it if you look.

(BTW, I saw that mistake. It said "first panel" but when I went to quote it was suddenly "fourth," and when I went back to look it was fourth. You may have foiled my plan to nitpick, but I'm on to you now. :smalltongue: )


Also, when I read the title of this thread, I was kind of hoping it was actually a "Type-O" thread, a la "Treasure Type-O," if you know what I mean. :smallwink:

Technically typo is just a blend of the phrase "typographical error" so any use of it is grammatically incorrect.
And to cover all my bases: all spelling and grammar errors in this post are deliberate.

In the OOTS Board game, Haley is accidentally printed on top of Roy on the last page of the comic, first panel.

Not a typo, but I think it fits here. Pretty sure I'm not the first to notice.
