If they were going to fake the time anyway, why isn't the guy in the photo and not his wife? What the hell does that photo prove? Why did they need to fake an alibi for someone who didn't commit the murder anyway?

Not to mention his only evidence the photo is reversed is "The bracelet is on the opposite leg that it's currently on" like it's impossible to switch the bracelet to the other leg for whatever reason.

The more I think about this strip the more it annoys me.

Why is he even 8 bit? I've completely lost track of what is even supposed to be happening in ZNJ. I am just not getting this strip.

The more I see people talk about ZNJ, the more convinced I am that I made the right choice to stop reading it after five strips.

I can read it fine. The freehand lettering gets a bit cramped at points, but I find it easier to read than some of the text in other things we've seen. Like Sylvia.

It gets a little clearer as it goes along, but the early scans posted online...eesh. The later scans get more legible, though it's still handwritten. I've actually skipped the very earliest stuff and am trying to stick to strips that are clearer.

"Hey can we stop by Rosedale, it's only a little further and I know exactly what I'm looking for, it's only gonna take 10-15 minutes altogether" comes to mind but dumb teenagers I guess.

I actually kind of miss the days when you had to hunt down your records physically. I have many fond memories of finally finding that elusive one in a rickety shop held together by posters, on school trips abroad or even in a regular chain store that hasn't cleaned out its inventory in a while. But then, those are memories of finding them. The other day I searched what felt like every shop in London for a particular one without seeing so much as one by the same band, and being able to get the bloody thing off youtube has its merits.
