I, novice

Four-frame cartoon. Two editors sit with laptops at a table. Frame 1: The bearded editor says, “Huh.” Bespectacled editor says, “What?” Frame 2: Bearded editor says, “Just noticed that my invoice template says I-N-O-V-I-C-E.” Bespectacled editor says, “Uh-oh. How long have you used that template?” Frame 3: Bearded editor says, “Since I launched my business! Where finding and correcting typos is LITERALLY MY JOB.” Frame 4: Bearded editor says, “What do you call Muphry’s Law at the macro, existential level?” Bespectacled editor replies, “I think it might toggle back to Murphy at that point.”

Brave enough to share your* most embarrassing editing goofs? Head over to Twitter.
