Kirk: I’m having trouble hearing lately. Bones: Can you describe the symptoms? Kirk: Homer is a fat guy, and his wife Marge has blue hair.

I, too, had problems reading Bones’ question. I read it as “Can you symptoms describe the”. I still don’t get it, “symptoms” is further the the left than “describe”. This is all very confusing for me.
OK you’re gonna have to explain how you got to that. I actually can’t work it out.
The joke is, once you ignore that English is read top down, you have problems with any text longer than one line
Oh I got whooshed.
It’s all centralized text…
“Dissenting” is to the left of “the” in the comic example I gave. Did that confuse you too? If one confuses you and the other doesn’t, I really don’t know what to say. They’re using the SAME FORMATTING. (It’s called “centred text”.) If both confuse you then at least you’re consistent (but very bizarre given how common this formatting is).
I have looked up “centered text” and now I get it. You might want to look up Poe’s Law
