      Pretty sure it’s a backwards a, to signify that the kid who wrote it is a little goofy.

        Larson has drawn his characters’ writing as intentionally bad in other comics to make it clear that they’re primitive in some way, so this would make sense.

                Yeah but the one in brain does. The example is shit cursive anyway. The point being the one in gaffney still has the line at the bottom on the right. The standalone one is just not an a.

                Here I even wrote it correctly just for you.

                  From your original handwriting example, I thought you were suggesting that the way you were taught, letter “o” and “a” always have the leading stroke (like Larson’s standalone “a”), even when the letter starts a word. Sorry, I may have misunderstood.
