Eeeheheheheheheheheheh.

Dear Zach, please don't give into the Grammar-istas. Revert to the original! Change it back to 'to'! I thought it was a subtle and hilarious way of making your point.

I thought it was to illustrate the character's stupidity?

And here I thought he did it on purpose. Trolling is a art, after all.

We use it all the time in ecology classes.

I didn't make any typo, Zach did. Go tell him in the Zach Hotline: http://www.smbc-comics.com/smbcforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3063&hilit=zach+hotline Which he probably won't read, either.

/edit: Ah no, don't do anything, he already knows and is fed up with being informed: https://twitter.com/ZachWeiner/status/384767141250998272

IT'S TO BAD

Oh, good. I thought I would be the only one to complain about the 'to'/'too' mistake. :D

The "to" was an ironic choice, since the character was discussing the stupidity of other people without considering her own short-sightedness.

There. I used my English degree today. I can relax.

It works like this:

Imagine a dial like an old-school voltmeter, with a wobbly needle. Let's call it a "good-ometer".

On the left side is "Bad" and on the right side is "Good". When turned off, the needle points straight up.

When applied to the problem of "Stupid people breeding more than smart people", the "good-ometer" needle moves toward the left, i.e. toward bad, i.e. "to bad".

The speaker in the first panel is simply reading off the good-ometer held in her right hand, clipped by the bottom of the frame.

But I thought 'to bad' is a verb. Like in spanish the verb: 'malar'

Nope.

10 Ave Zach, sinner!

Shouldn't that be "too bad"?
