Get You're Wurds Write

"Now comes New Thayer and my bother Danny!" What?? New Thayer MAY BOTHER Danny? If so, why?

Or does he mean "my BROTHER Danny?" I can't really tell most of the Gil characters apart -- there's Gil, Brent (fat guy/rap dawg), the beat poet-looking announcer, and of course, Ursula, errrr . . . Mrs. Raptor. Other than those folks . . . sorry, I don't know who's who. Oh wait! How could I forget the inimitable Brick House?!?!? I loved that guy. What's he been up to, I wonder?

This guy may indeed have a brother Danny. I wouldn't know, even though I read the strip every day. It just doesn't really ever sink in.

I don't mean to harp on the typographical (or lettering-ographical or whatever) errors of baseball-themed comic strips. . . Oh, who am I kidding? It's what I live for . . . it's what I do. To help poor, innocent mer-folk, like yourself . . . ACK ACK ACK! I've been taken over by Ursula (yeah, I know the lyrics to songs from The Little Mermaid, what of it??)

Those in glass houses, I know . . . I shouldn't be harping on this if I can't go several posts without a typo myself, right? Screw that! Gil Thorpe and B.C. are syndicated nationwide. They get PAID to do what they do every day. Thousands of people read them every day. They SHOULD have a higher standard than I do.

PROOFREAD your comics, people!

And I apologize profusely if that's NOT a "typo" and should, indeed, read "my bother Danny." Maybe it's a pet name. Maybe I am just that dense, and this makes perfect sense to everyone else. I will eat my words if that's the case.
