    Look, Scott, just put the copyright date at the TOP of the page. That way it will reflect off your chrome dome and appear five times in each strip! Brilliant!

    Not ANYBODY but him. 911 won’t be sympathetic.

    Now I want to e-mail Scott about the issue just to help push him to the point where he snaps.

    I suppose you could use something like 2014-2015 to cover the time period for the comics that will appear during the changeover period. Of course that would take up more space than just the four digits of the year. At least the complaints would be different.

    Ya know, theres a simple solution to all this un necessarry hubbub…Just for this year, as a test, adapt the Chinese New Year Calendar for 2015, which actually starts on Feb 19… so just replace the little c with a chinese letter (not sure which one that would be, I aint chilingual) and then the 2014 is still good… ironically its the year of the “Sheep”…. really. Look it up…

    Is there a special form that can be used to submit the complaint?

    I look forward to this strip every year. This year’s footnote made me laugh like a loon, too.

    Yay; this is the last time we see 2014 on this strip. (I didn’t bother to read the strip.)
