Leonardo da Vinci style.

There is a reverse function on our PCs screen, but I don’t dare to use it.

Now where did I put that mirror?

The episode of Voyager with the race that die of old age when they grow into children comes to mind.

I was going to type in what it says, but I think the key to enjoying it is to go through the exercise.

Does anyone remember the Red Dwarf episode “Backwards?”

It’s too early in the morning for this…..

I can read backwards. This has caused issues with me remembering “right” and “left” because, to me, either hand can make an “L”. (My husband taught me to remember the Pledge of Allegience; now, whenever I need to figure out “left” or “right”, my right hand flies to my heart…done!)

We know more and more about less and less. Soon, as my Uncle Ezra would put it, “Boy, you keep a-goin’ own lak ‘at an’ yer gonna end up a-knowin’ pur’t near ever’ythang ‘bout all-mos’ nuthin’!”

1) Print Screen

2) Open Paint

3) Ctrl-V (Paste)

4) Right-click on Screen Capture

5) Rotate → Flip Horizontal

Easy peasy.

Yes he does, yeah they do, and there you go. But indeed Milo, you’re right. It’s all backwards today. Down the rabbithole with Alice, and we’re fine with it. But finally someone is standing up to my sneakers being on the wrong feet!

Well, I have to admit it was different. I had to print and use a mirror to read it. The panels are backward. Read the one on the right first.

Anybody know the meaning of the sign – “No Odobenus This means you”?

The word Odobenus gets a hit on the Genus name for the walrus, “Odobenus Rosmarus”, so I suppose it’s saying “No Walruses”…

BB…Wonderfully creative and imaginative! A bit mind bending but fun and delightfully editorializing. Gold stars….

This one is a test of how well your brain can reverse the letters.

Opus’ correct feet? Those are the only feet he has.

I enlarged everything on screen and that made it much easier

I just held my cell phone up to it on the black screen and read it in the mirror image on it.

And it reminds me of that joke where a person is born old, gets younger and younger, and ends up as an orgasm.

Or you could just hold it up to a mirror

Just Dumb…

Can someone please let me out from behind this mirror…

I wonder how many service people (like me) could read that without using a mirror.

Bud Alexander (Bud Abbott): “That’s just like you. You get everything backwards! Come on!”

From “Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet the Invisible Man”

Amazing how it becomes easier to read backwards in such a short space of time! The brain is incredibly mobile and adaptive ♡

Dug out an old hand mirror from the cabinet under the bathroom sink.

It wasn’t worth the effort….

With a little concentration, I was able to read the whole strip.

I’m not even going to try.

I managed to read the whole thing without a mirror, though at first I read the panels in the wrong order (and I still feel a bit cross-eyed). Binkley’s statement that “People should be born old and grow young” made me think of Benjamin Button (from the F. Scott Fitzgerald story and the movie starring Brad Pitt).
