SimpleMarkup #188 – Sandwich Expert

Okay, how did it get to be the middle of May so quickly? I guess life is back to being on fast-forward for me…

On Tuesday, I got my second Pfizer shot, and thankfully I seem to have had no major side effects. Just a sore arm and some sleepiness, though the sleepiness is me all the time anyway.

This week’s comic highlights the good ole compliment sandwich, which is something editors use to try to soften critical feedback, where you put two compliments around the criticism. This can sometimes be difficult, however, which is why Edie is complimenting the color of his shirt. It’s a common joke among editors that sometimes the only good thing you can point to is the choice of font.

Do you have go-to compliment sandwich “bread”?

Have a great rest of your week and weekend!
