I started adding the mouth because it does seem to confuse people, but it makes me uncomfortable. And sometimes I forget as I did with this comic.

Yeah, “ouch”, I’m not a really good artist, but you know what? I enjoy doing this. It brings me peace. If comics were only good from their art, we wouldn’t have strips like The Far Side. Ouch!

It’s so strange to me that the nose is perceived as a mouth, especially when the first panel clearly indicates that. Anyway, the message explains what I need to know. If that’s how it is, I’ll have to make the necessary adjustments.
