The Nightstar Zoo

Today (6/17/10), shouldn't it be "I just found out it wasn't a show!" in the second panel?

http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20100101.html

"fulfil" is misspelled.

7/7/10: Karl's second line is missing a period (or whichever ending punctuation you intended to use).

Is Pharoah's a spelling mistake, or a reference to something other than ancient Egyptian kings?

Donno if this belongs here or not, but in the last panel of 26 Jul 2010, the earpiece of Tagii's glasses has disappeared.

8/27/2010: Tailor is using the wrong font.

Tailor is asking for "anesthesia"
Where as anesthesia is the condition that Tagon is wanting, Tailor should be asking for "anesthetic".

Graphical glitches?

Third panel : around the tip of the General's nose, looks like a selection tool or something.
Fourth panel : Kevyn's speech bubble and text have a rather blue tint.

I know this is a little irregular, and for that I'm sorry. But during an archive-dive, I happened across a spelling mistake.

In the comic found here:

Panel 2: "Villain" is spelt "Villian".

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings!

It should be "more dangerous", not "less dangerous"?

first panel, march 4th

should be are (space) a few tests, not area tests.

2003-02-02, bottom middle frame, "Were in the freight lane" should start "We're". Same in the transcript.

2003-03-09 first panel, bottom narration balloon, the context is talking about huge quantities of energy, but then talks about measuring it in "terawatt-nanoseconds", which comes out to kilowatt-seconds, a.k.a. kilojoules, a pretty trivial amount of energy. Seems like you meant to go for something more like "terawatt-gigaseconds" or something like that, maybe.
(At least it wasn't "terawatts per nanosecond" or something like that. I hate it when I see something like that.)

2003-12-10 In the second panel, Ennesby obliquely refers to gravity as a "nuclear force", which it isn't. Four forces (that we know of in the early 21st century): electromagnetic, gravity, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear. Two of those are nuclear forces; guess which two?
The best alternative phrase might be "fundamental force", but that might not fit into the space where "nuclear force" is now without squeezing that line of text too much.

2003-12-17 In the last panel, Schlock says his late mount "[isn't] done purifying yet." I suspect that either "putrefying" or its alternate spelling, "putrifying", was intended here. Or else I'm missing the joke in "purifying".

2004-02-22 Second panel, narrator balloon, "the less time an observer has to get consider the consequences of choosing." If that's supposed to mean what I think it's supposed to mean, the 'get' needs to go.

2004-04-11 First panel, Schlock says "Were here!", should be "We're here!"

2004-11-05 first panel, "officer's volleyball team" should be "officers' volleyball team," assuming there's more than one officer. (And if not, it wouldn't be much of a team.)

Similarly, in 2004-11-15 first panel, second balloon, "officer's corps" could be "officer corps," "officers corps," or "officers' corps,", but not "officer's corps" the way it is now. "Officer corps" seems to be the most common form.

ETA: Ditto for 2004-11-17, second panel, first balloon.

2004-12-03 last narration balloon, "foe's faces" should be "foes' faces"; their anatomy isn't that unusual.

ETA: Unless "foe" were meant collectively; then "foe's faces" would work. I still think "foes' faces" works better, though.

2004-12-08 Last panel, last balloon, "And it's a repeating decimal. Point-thing." should have that middle period removed, for "repeating decimal point-thing."

2004-12-09 Commentary includes quoted horoscope, "It's all too easy easy today to open your mouth and put your foot in it...." Unless it actually included the two 'easy's, one should go.

2005-01-14 Third and fourth panels, Ennesby and Kevyn call them "torpedoes". While this isn't strictly wrong, they've usually been pretty consistently referred to as "terapedoes" when they have the mod, which these must.

2005-03-27 Fourth panel, Petey's balloon, "come to it's senses" should be "come to its senses."

2005-05-08 First panel, "under weigh" should be "under way". This was my first feeling, but given the mixup around terms like "weigh" and "aweigh", I checked. Twice.

2005-09-12 Second panel, "You're born diplomat" should be "You're a born diplomat." (Italic emphasis in original, bold emphasis highlights correction.)

2005-09-25 In the note, "made possible the creation new waves" should read "made possible the creation of new waves".

2006-01-08 Note, second paragraph, "Entrepreneurial colonists on Celeschul imported large quantities of soil and associated biomass from the champagne province in an effort to circumvent a loophole in the gordian knot of 23rd-century trademark laws." In that context, "Champagne" should definitely be capitalized, and Gordian probably should be also.

2006-11-09 First panel, first balloon, Schlock starts "it's about", "it's" should be capitalized.

2008-04-10 last panel, Ennesby's balloon, in "he treats people...", it's preceded by what I'm pretty sure is a period, so "he" should be capitalized.
