\"Hebrew<\/p>\n

So last night I was looking at the Peanuts strips in the Hebrew language primer Olam Gadol – Bet<\/em> (what, weren’t you?), and I find the above strip. Now, Hebrew reads from right to left, so obviously they reordered the panels so that the first one is on the right. But looking at it, I had a little bet with myself – I bet that they had flipped each panel, that Charlie Brown had originally faced the right, because it would flow better that way. I planned to look it up when I had the chance.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, today I opened up Celebrate Peanuts<\/em> to the right page to see the original strip (October 7, 1953), saving me a fair bit of hunting. And I saw that there had been a more significant change, one which should have been obvious to me from the first… originally there were no word balloons at all<\/a>!<\/p>\n
