In “Selling manga to the Japanese” I said it should be flipped when I obviously meant “un-flipped”! Whoops!
I think this was our best and most entertaining episode — everybody check it out if you haven’t already!
Nitpicky comment: It’s pronounced “DEP-ee,” not “de-PEY” On behalf of the League of People with Funny Names, thank you.
Sorry, Dirk, and duly noted. It’s a hazard of living in the world of the written word. I belong to that league too—no one has ever spelled my first name correctly on the first try.
Brigid (Bridget, Brigit, Bridgid, Brigette, Bridig, Bright…)
Sorry Dirk! My last name is often butchered too!
