If you have to insist something is unremarkable, it’s not.
This comic is an example of someone fucking up the basics for comic dialog layout. Multiple people note that it’s ambiguous and could easily be improved. You can argue it’s reasonable. But you can’t take it for granted. Insisting on convention doesn’t mean anything when people plainly familiar with the convention say this fucked it up.
Okay, rephrasing:

Again, I didn’t do that either.
I merely explained the standard convention.
I made no comment as to this comic specifically.
