I got this little book, it's like a pocket dictionary without the definitions. It's used by secretaries so they can quickly check the spelling of the word.
Next time I'll check the dicitionary to make sure I'm spelling the RIGHT word. I'll fix this tonight.

It amuses me that 10 months later you've not changed this…
Man's busy…
still busy… xD
I guess since it’s in the first comment, he called it good enough?
Poke. 5 years on, still waiting. 😛
Still busy… 🙂
The comment couldn’t elicit enough motivation to change the illicit text after all.
Hey, he finally fixed it! After somebody else pointed it out…
I've often wondered this myself. Let's be honest: the world ain't worth the trouble!
Geesh… I got a big eye roll when I told you that you had a spelling error once!
Stop making this comic. I have important things to do. Can't be all laughin, readin bug comics all day. Serious.
I shall have to remember to make it illegal to be unhappy with me when I come to be in charge.
Also, great comic!
Well, if somebody ilse is posting you on FB, I might as well also. (word misspelled in solidarity, brother. Stick it to the spelling police!).
I'd wanna be one of the rebels then I'd start planting Thermite bombs everywhere. I REGRET NOTHING!

I think the original was moved, but they're still awesome! Had to share~
If I had a webcomic, and some dude simply posted "error, illicit should be elicit" I would never change it simply out of spite
🙂
If I was a rebel, I’d post Marmite bombs everywhere. I know how to make those
Sometimes it seems like the results are the same even when the “ruler” is democratically-elected…
Not to mention the paperwork . . .
Not sure if you knew this or not, but a panel of this comic is now the Trope page picture for 0% approval rating – http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZeroPercentApprovalRating
Ha! Neat!
Elicit. Elicit means to cause a specific reaction in others, and is a verb. Illicit means illegal, and is an adjective.
D’oh! What a dumb mistake! Good catch. Will fix.
