Today's comic, December, 8. Was "ka-ded" on purpose? Or did you want "ka-died" or perhaps "ka-dead"?

I'm almost 350% certain that it was intentional. "Ka-ded" is funny. "Ka-dead" is not. "Ka-died" is definitely not.

I still say that it should be a briefcase of 1 million euros and not the 15 million euros that Gennaro asked Shankraft to return.

So should we or should we not be pointing out ancient typos that don't have a "sic"? For example, there was this one I remembered by heart so that I only needed to enter the exact phrase into search to find it: "My conscious is cleaner than your restrooms!"

Daedalus was able eventually to...

Shouldn't that be "was eventually able"? Sixth panel, third paragraph.

I've been doing a lot of archival diving lately. If you still wish to attend to some of your much older typo errors I will post them here as I see them.

EDIT
For the first time I put this request where it belonges
Third panel.

EDIT 2
"Impetrative"?
Second panel, Riff speaking.

EDIT 3
Complicated Maters
Third Panel.
"You did not plan or!"
Fourth panel of same comic.
Typos in filler? Pete, you should be ashamed XD

EDIT 4
Thanks to dual portal generators, everything I front of...
Third panel

EDIT 5
Heath Insurance
Second Panel, Torg Speaking

The signs on the presents in today's strip (New Year's Day, 2010) should read "Happy New Year..." not "Happy New Year's...".

Panel 7 of the strip for 11 Jan 2010: "you're band" should be "your band".

In the annotation to this sketch, "miss" is written with only 1 's'.

You know once upon a time I was going to be a linguist so I could use facts in opposition to pedants, but I suggest that to make the dialogue more natural you write it "Where's" instead of "Where are".

Also: http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/090830 technically is August, but in the first panel, "effect" should be "affect".

"Does your vampire senses pick up anything" in today's comic should be "Do your vampire senses" or "Does your vampire sense".
