fwiw, this is actually originally from 1995: https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/08/17

Oh okay that makes a lot more sense. Thanks so much, I'd been wondering.

Incidentally the GoComics series starts from 1985/11/18 https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1985/11/18

and runs to 1995/12/31 https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/12/31

and then loops back to the start. To convert today date in GoComics to the original subtract 10955 days. I wasted quite a lot of time figuring that.

And Bill Waterson took two sabbaticals (May 5, 1991 to February 1, 1992 and April 3 to December 31, 1994), which Gocomics is filling up with repeats, too.

So true. So many stories of highly efficient spreadsheets being broken on purpose because it resulted in more work being assigned to everyone. Lots of people learn to keep the spreadsheet a secret so they can look like they're working hard.
