 * Was getting weird display issues in my layout, which I tracked to a missing `
   </small>` in the Easel theme PHP. Somehow WordPress was managing to correct for
   this when I was logged-in, but in private browsing, it screwed things up.
 * Problem code:
    `' <label for="author"><small>' . __( '*NAME','easel' ) .'</label
   ></p>',`
 * Should be:
    `' <label for="author"><small>' . __( '*NAME','easel' ) .'</small
   ></label></p>',`
 * Changed it on my site and it seems to be fine now! But please put a general fix
   in the next plugin update.

 * Which file did this error show up in?
 * You state “Easel Theme.” This the theme ComicPress?

 * The name of the theme is just given as “Easel”. It’s the one that goes with the
   Comic Easel plugin.
 * As the subject line says, the problem is in comments.php
