Is this text significant?[edit]

On the right side surrounding the photo here?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 00:10, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What photo? If you're referring to the "newspaper" page in the comic's second panel, it's a form of pseudo-Latin placeholder text, though it doesn't seem to be Lorem ipsum, exactly. Deor (talk) 00:43, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I thought it might be. The photo was most of the second panel.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 23:06, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Better image here, I think. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 03:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like it's something produced by a "lorem ipsum generator". If you search for some of the words and phrases, you can find many examples online. [1]. It seems to have a list of Latin words from lorem ipsum as well as some others, which get mixed up at random. --Amble (talk) 05:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
