256: It's an Old, Old World
| It's an Old, Old World |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
The original strip was published on New Year's Day in 1995, and as such had repeated references to a "new X". This comic reverses them all into "old X", as well as altering the title panel to create the surreal idea that the new year never came to pass, and 1994 somehow reoccurred. The punchline is also slightly altered - "same Jon" becomes "dumb Jon".
The title is a reference to "It's a Small World" (or, as its infamously catchy song goes, "It's a Small, Small World").
