Taking an idea from No. 227, I compressed the 2003 birthday storyline into one strip.

Original strips: 2003-06-14, 2003-06-15, 2003-06-16, 2003-06-17, 2003-06-18, 2003-06-19, 2003-06-20, 2003-06-21.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The remnants of the old crediting system included a statement that 2003-06-15 was excluded from this strip's narrative, hence implying it was not meant to be formally credited among the strip credits. Due to a quirk in the transition to the current crediting system, 2003-06-15 was given an unintentional formal strip credit. (Only one set of credits has been recreated on this wiki page to eliminate redundancy.)
