#3113 - Fix This Sign

The comic shows a large, poorly designed sign with several visual issues. The sign reads: "Doanate to fix this sign!". Everything on the sign is slightly rotated clockwise, all text has bad kerning and is generally misaligned.

Below that is a QR code and an unreadable URL.
To the right, there is a price list:

$10 Fix kerning
$20 Align columns
$20 Fix text size (this line is written in smaller text)
$50 Fix typo
$50 Fix centering
$100 Fix rotation

A stick figure standing in front of the sign, looking frustrated and holding a phone, says: "Grrr..." - Caption below the panel: "My new company's business model is based on extorting graphic designers."

Hidden text: "We're building on our earlier success getting web developers to pay to change the backslashes in our displayed payment URL to forward slashes."
