Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original, the only difference between the first panel and the second was Jim's signature and the day of the year. For this reason, the author decided to get rid of the upper row.

Also in the original, the bird was an ordinary Jim-drawn bird. Here, it's been replaced by the bird from Flappy Bird.

The sprite has been edited to "match" the original bird.

The publication date for this SRoMG strip was likely chosen because it was the first day of a March.
