  • [OT] New Daily Doonesbury?

    From Paul S Person@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 29 08:26:56 2024
    Starting with [https://www.washingtonpost.com/doonesbury/strip/archive/2024/2/27]
    we appear to be seeing a /new/ daily sequence!

    Note: that link works here, which is a big surprise since a firewall
    usually appears, but if you get a firewall, try [https://www.washingtonpost.com/doonesbury/] for today's strip.

    Note that the current strip shows no date. The archived strips show
    [1900] -- which is a bit old, even for Doonesbury.

    It shows 1900 when I bring it up. And it is part of a continuing series.

    The current one references "President Clinton", so apparently it's not
    new, just not dated properly.

    Oh, well.

    Thanks for confirming this.

    I guess they've stopped marking them with the original publication
    date.

    Or I've imagined them so marking them all these years since Trudeau
    stopped doing new daily strips.

    The GoComics strips have the year in the copyright statement in the
    gutter between the panels. It's typical to remove the day indicator and
    add a current one for reruns.
