Bad comic! Bad comic!

Normally I find comic artists pretty careful about their use of English, but the other day I ran into one that contains a doozie. And Ed Allison has a generally pretty funny strip. For this one, though, I’d have to slap his hand.
Harrumpf. I can hardly stand to read this.
He even put his mistake in bold. The rule is that when you are counting something, especially if you have a plural involved, you use Fewer! FEWER! Use “less” when you measure an amount, I have less egg on my face than he does.
But hey, it’s a comic, and it’s funny.
Less mess and fewer sewers…
