Really?  That was on purpose, right?

Welcome, new person!

The thread cryptically titled "WCDT" stands for "Weekly Comic Discussion Thread". It's not a big deal, but that thread is the best home for a post that relates directly to the current week.

She goes by "marigoldfarmer" on Twitter, so the joke's been out there for years. But this week was the first in-strip confirmation that that's her actual name; until now, a lot of people (including me) assumed Marigold was the one making the WoW joke, not Jeph.

Is it confirmation?  Or did Hannelore see her Twitter handle and assume it was "Marigold Farmer" when in fact it's "Mari, gold farmer"?  By trying to force Mari offline for a week, Hanners could end up costing her her job.  Once more, it is proven that careless punctuation costs lives.
