Okay this particular panel hinges on the "ǝ" symbol and phonetic: after extensive review and input from my ad hoc editorial committee (ie anyone in the cafe) I discovered the demographics of my base was overwhelmingly unfamiliar with linguistic trivia to get it. A fraction of folks thought the symbol was sort of familiar, but still forgotten.
But even still, the Venn diagram of shared knowledge between the "
schwa" group and people familiar with the term "
giardia" is rather, let's say, specialized - dare I say -
elite group. So yeah, in other words, nobody gets it. Still, it ran on account of it being purely my personal favorite of the year.
