I think this exact string was a plot point in Ramona and her father by Beverly Cleary. Ramona intended to create a "NO SMOKING" sign, but paper dimension limitations caused the sign to read "NOSMO KING".

    It sounds like a pretty good book, with some real themes dealing with unemployment and the stress that has on the whole family.

    I did find this bit a little funny:

    Ramona grows concerned about her father's smoking habit and works with Beezus to leave messages all over the house.

    who the hell is Beezus lmfao
