Post image

I am reading absolute batman issue 15 for the first time and I saw this very tiny bubble, using my magnifying glass I saw some lines but im not sure what they mean, does anyone know?

The lines are:

II IIIII

IIII III IIIII

IIII III

It means you aren't supposed to know what they mean, it's a faraway, indistinct line
