I've had this PDF on my site for a couple of years now and only discovered today that what I posted was somebody's ersatz re-formatting of our original essay: complete with a fair amount of typos..I have no idea what the "kilos" reference is about either. I've replaced it with a new PDF which is direct from the printed source. It's a bigger download but its the real deal. Please go to http://www.laffpix.com/howtoreadnancy.pdf to get it. Feel free to repost and replace this one -and stay tuned for the book version! Thanks for posting this!

Let me see if I can dig it up... I think somebody OCR-ed a handout on that PDF — I’ve read a copy before that wasn’t so typo-ridden. Let me see if I can dig it up…

I looked at the keyboard to see if there could have been a finger shift. I thought about replacing just one letter in the word and even tried to think about it as a phonetic or transliterate word. None of these yielded results. The “kilos” sentence was the only sentence I couldn’t make out. I looked at the keyboard to see if there could have been a finger shift.

I wonder how much of the layout of the strip as reconstructed here was intentionally planned by Bushmiller, and how much was simply intuitive, the result of a master plying his craft every day for years and years. Fascinating either way. The typos were sometimes puzzling, none more so than this sentence: "And we do kilos something about them." Wow.
