How "Ozy & Millie" helped save my job...

A funny thing happened at my office today. Now, to give a little background info, it's important to note that I DO have a day job aside from my comic strip work at a restaurant design and PR firm. And TODAY, we had a potential new client coming in that we had to impress. He own's a restaurant/bar called "Llywelyn’s Pub".

The problem: We had a BIG digital display in our lobby with a screen welcoming the owner of "Llywen’s Pub".

THANKFULLY, my years of reading this fabulous comic allowed me to instantly notice the mis-spelling of a certain dragon's name and the problem was fixed before the client arrived.

Proof, once again, that comics can save the world... or at least a few jobs. (Okay, mine was never at risk here... but I sure got some brownie points.)

*thunderous applause*

Although, is it "Llywelyn" or "Llewellyn"? Doesn't really matter tho. Nice catch!

Well, a quick google search let me know the existing restaurant spelled it "Llywelyn’s Pub"... but at LEAST knew is wasn't "Llywen".

Yeah, I'd imagine the client wouldn't be particularly impressed by a gross misspelling of that nature.

Define Cynical officially awards you with a shiny, a flamethrower, the Thingy (Until somebody decides to randomly steal it from you), and whatever else we can think of to throw in :)

I am reminded of Llewellyn every day at school because of our logo.
