You start losing your ability to see them fresh once you start doing that. Somehow, through a mistake in translating these layouts from drawings I'd done in another format, I had attributed the "Twelve quid' remark to Stephen rather than Mulligan as the book clearly states. Mike caught it on the edits (thank god!) and Josh then moved balloons around accordingly so that the pattern of speech might still make sense despite the distance between the figures. But the tails should point differently to make this clearer. Our gaff! We'll get a corrected version up on the site tomorrow, and thanks for catching it!

Somehow, through a mistake in translating these layouts from drawings I’d done in another format, I had attributed the “Twelve quid’ remark to Stephen rather than Mulligan as the book clearly states.

Surely, "To the secretary of state for war" is said by Stephen; yet the tail of the speech bubble seems to point to Haines. Similarly, "Rather bleak in wintertime, I should say" is Haines's line, though the tail points to Stephen. Am I missing something here?
