As pointed out in the comments, today's (April 3) Retail contains an apparent shout-out to me. I'm so proud to see the term I made up used and used correctly in a syndicated newspaper comic strip. I think I can finally say this: I've contributed to the lexicon! That's been my goal all along, to add a phrase to the terminology of comics. Thank you, Norm Feuti
Also, I would like to ask a huge favor. I'm not sure in what papers Retail is printed--most likely the Seattle Post Intelligencer and maybe a few other papers in the country--but if you have a copy of one, I would love to get my hands on it. If you can help, email me at penultimatepanel@gmail.com. Thanks again, everyone.
It is not listed in my local paper in NH, but I must congratulate you on this stunning achievement!!

I'm so glad this blog has made me totally unable to read a comic with an spp (even one that works) and just let it slide.
Strangely, in the Dilbert for April 10, the Penultimate Panel is the only one that isn't silent. I think that merits some sort of comment.
ReplyDeleteawesome!
