87/365 a little honest truth brought to you by the funnies
sent this comic off to a writer friend today
86/365 some reversals revealed
Discovered that a number of the letters in this set of wood type I purchased has additional characters carved onto the reverse side, so printed them to illustrate that. Top letter correspond to the same location of the bottom letters, so the 'W' has an 'M' on the reverse
Here's images of the type from when I discovered this delight.
