For Worse

 This may seem too nit-picky, but I hate For Better or For Worse, all the more so now that they're just rerunning quarter-century old cartoons. Why do we need to spend the next 25 years or whatever re-reading the same story, which wasn't that great the first time? Occupy the Funny Pages, people!

Anyway, what bothers me about this are some of the "backwards" letters. I haven't played with these magnetic letters for a long time, but as I recall the backs were hollow with a couple of little magnets set in the empty space. I don't think the magnets were strong enough to allow you to attach them to the metal object backwards. Even if these are some sort of amazing Canadian super-magnetic letters, there is enough detail in this image that the magnets should be visible.

Little asshole Michael (the future novelist, keep in mind) looks too old to be making mistakes with backward letters anyway. And you can't make S up-side-down either.

So I call "Bullshit!" on this already shitty comic.
