Explanation[edit | edit source]

This edit replaces the roar in the middle panel with Grawlixes, symbols used in family-friendly comics used to represent profane language. Grawlixes can be a variety of symbols; here they are mostly typographical. In particular they are the shift modifiers of the number keys on a standard QWERTY keyboard (exclamation point, "at sign", hash symbol, etc.) in left to right order.
