Out of sorts, part 2

4-frame cartoon. Frame 1: Two artisans work in a 15th-century European print studio. One says, “Well, that was the last of the italic effs we’ve had to make into long esses. Should we move on to the roman ones?” The other one says, “Sure! But what if…” Frame 2: The second artisan continues: “What if instead of filing off the crossbar completely, we just filed part of it off?” Frame 3: The first artisan holds up a piece of lead type that looks like an f with one side filed off but with a small nub left on the other. He says, “You mean like this?” Frame 4: A person with wild hair peering through the window of the shop wearing a shirt with the word “SICKOS” says, “YES… HA HA HA… YES!” as a tribute to the Stan Kelly comic published in the Onion.
