    Is it still considered a “Tychpo” if it makes its way into the art?

    For sure. That's a key characteristic. Mike has said he notices them and puts them in the comic anyway, just to punish Jerry for typing it wrong. He might be just joking, but it's also very plausible. He corrects them later, presumably after Jerry humbles himself before him.

    That being said, I can't find the tychpo in this one. Or did they already correct it?

    The plaque says 15 Year of Serice, which honestly makes it even more funny

    Disagree, that makes it canon, not a mistake.

    You know, I first assumed the comic title was just an average play on "Return of the King", but upon further reflection, I feel that the title referenced simply must be 90s classic song "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison, which is some A-level wordplay.

    Sorry if this was already obvious to everyone, please carry on with your day.

    Right? Even after the tychpo was identified, I still had to zoom my browser in a few clicks to confirm that the "v" is indeed missing.

    EDIT: To be fair though, is it even a tychpo? Did Jerry specify in writing what the plaque said? I would consider the writing on the plague to be more a part of the art than the text in this case. We need more info to classify this error!

    If it helps, there is a Skitt's Law in that post. The comic says: "15 Years Serice"

    Now I'm doubly confused. Also, I always called it Muphry's Law because it's a way cooler name.

    It is just a subset of Muphry's law. And possibly not applicable here since they weren't actually correcting the post. But I usually rr on the side of showing off esoteric knowledge, so I went for Skitt's.

    I just didn't even see the second error you are referring to. I'm just off my game lately.
