Comic for 17th Jan. 2013; Best not to think about it at all, really.

George's first speech bubble in panel three seems a tad... off.

"And no never mind it would let me see how you struggle in the dark?" Okay, the last bit kinda makes sense, but the wording of the first part is... kinda awkward, to my eyes.

And thinking too hard about what Ben and Speedy are up to at the moment is not good for one's mental health.
Have you ever... Ever felt like this? How strange things happen, are you going Round the Twist
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? (Note: I have no involvement with the series, I just think it looks awesome)

A hyphen in "never mind" might help there, yes.

(I checked in Google Books - "never mind" wasn't nominalized in the 18th century, but I suppose George can pick up changing language like Ben does.)

"No nevermind" is a US regional phrase meaning immaterial or inconsequential. :-) (More examples from Wiktionary.)

Ah. That would be why it looked off to me. I'm Australian, and have never encountered that particular phrasing outside of grammatical errors/typing mishaps.
