    Why do you put today’s date when it was in the 1980s?

    Sometimes the original date is contextually important

      Their website reposts a set of random old comics which is reposted here every day.

      If you didn’t know… they aren’t making new ones.

      I think having it in the post body would be helpful.

      I found these to be a bit offbeat until I read a comment a week or so ago describing these comics as “boomer absurdism” and amazingly those two words gave me something to grab onto to find the humor in the weirder ones. That’s the what made it click for me. A date would help too.
