I used to be able to fix the typo and repost the strip, but that doesn’t seem to work anymore. Yes, I tried.
It’s harder to catch one’s own typos than someone else’s. The writer or letterer knows what they expect to see.
What surprises me is how obsessed and fixated readers become. I find typos in published books a lot. They shouldn’t happen, but they do. But when hardly anyone has anything to say about the gag, because they’re all piling on top of each other to show off how they spotted the mistake, it gets… strange. I hope none of them are the kind to complain if someone tells them they made a grammar error.
I read it to get the joke not the typographical error. Maybe that is the problem with the reads who aren’t concentrating on the joke. People obsessed with that tend to not care what you say, but how you say it. Really it is very very rude.
OH. MY. GOD! HE QUITED! OH THE HUMANITY! ( Yes, i saw the post from Scott. I couldn’t help myself. I make no excuses…). Poor Norm. He’s going to make a career off of one decision.

Do you perhaps mean,’Didn’t he quit, like, five months ago?’?

I thought the V.P. quiet 5 months ago, but then again, what do I no?

I quite quietly quit (say that 5 times fast).
I know, I know, “that 5 times fast” (wiseguys ☺).

Now, as to the comic itself: I wasn’t quite sure if Norm quit, was still employed, became a consultant.

Typos run rampant on Kindle books from Amazon. Drives me nuts that no one ever proof reads these books.
