Kedamono sends this in, giving us some background on what’s happening in the strip: “Queen Victoria is rebooting after the incident of the Infinite Vickies. (Go read the comic for more elucidation.) This is the second strip after they started the reboot. What perplexes me is the “0/0/0” in the bottom left corner of panel 1. Since there isn’t a “year zero” in the Gregorian Calendar, let alone zero day or month, is it a different date? Or something else?”

Also, is this date in mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yyyy, or yyyy/mm/dd format?
That was February 6. On February 7, here was a strip referencing Scott Adams death. Then nothing until Feb 12.
That one is in CIDU territory for your editor:

No comics since, up to February 15. Your editor is only an occasional reader of this strip. (I lost interest with all the endless strips about elephants.)
Is there a pun somewhere hidden — maybe under a rock?

The following day, Cash indicated these rocks stood for Nancy, Sluggo, and Aunt Fritzi, clarifying her intention a bit.

Jack Applin sends in this language question: “Heart figures that her team might be able to achieve third place. Tall girl says “we might place”. To me, to “place” as a verb means to come in second (horse racing: 1st/2nd/3rd = win/place/show). Did tall girl truly think that their team might come in second, or is she using “place” to mean any of 1st/2nd/3rd place?”
Joshua K. and Hinches both sent this in: “This appears to be a joke about redaction or censorship, but it would seem like it would need to have *some* visible text to make sense.” and “Is this supposed to be some sort of political statement? What an I missing, besides all the dialogue??

Was this an earlier Sunday Wizard of Id at one time?
Jack Applin sends this in. “Chicken tenders are food. Also, “tender” means to offer, as tender a bid. I live in Colorado, but the strip taught me that corruption in South Africa is rampant. Do the foolish Floyd & Julius think that bids for public works are for sale, instead of a fair bidding process?”

Dan Sachs sends this in: “Huh?”


Seattle sends this in: “Not too familiar with Plato & Socrates, but I believe it was hemlock that did one of them in. Five beers? I’ve got nothing…”
