calligraphy has a patron demon, not a patron saint
After like 5 tries and squinting and using my finger to block lines as I went along, I managed to verify for myself that it does in fact have the proper amount of lines.
It’s not just the correct amount of lines but connections between the lines are actually there, if they should be that is, if you look closely.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what makes transcribing some very olde texts REALLY fucking hard.
I get very anxious when someone starts such a long word so far to the right* of the page.
* obviously only for LTR direction

But without context that makes no sense unless you’re really into calligraphy
Put a pen there or make it clear that it’s paper. These are imho quite obvious.
Everything but the last panel just explains the joke before it’s even made.
