I'm a little worried about this one - there's no typo. What does that mean?
It means Rich was not rushing to finish by his deadline. When he spoke at Pandemonium Books a while ago, he mentioned that he does all the cryptograms by hand, and sometimes he messes up if he is tired or running late. I asked about the theory that the typos are a hidden code, to which he laughed. Then he said snidely, "Uhm, yes, and you should dedicate your whole life to cracking it!"
Ok, I'm glad I haven't had a rainy Saturday afternoon to apply to that project yet, then... :) Thanks for the heads-up!
It still seems a little uncanny, though, how each Haley strip had exactly one typo in it, consistently. Never two, never zero... (unless I'm misremembering)
It is also worth noting that the latest book has corrected translations for what all the cryptograms were supposed to be. Maybe he is just getting better at doing cryptograms by hand, or maybe he automated, or just maybe enough fans complained about the errors. :)

Thank you!
Her speech is becoming a little more clear, after all, isn't it...
