    And even last year, it was a repeat. Sigh. Obviously, people really are still not getting it…

    Now we’re complaining that the copyright date on today’s strip should be from years ago.

    Yes, it allows us to think our hard work ain’t been in vain for nothing.

    Sorry; when I hear “humdrum”, I automatically skip to Singing in the Rain.

    It’s going to be 2014? I just finally trained myself not to put “2012” on my checks.

    I guess the message here is that the typical “Basic Instructions” reader/commenter is much less intelligent than the typical houseplant.

    Scott Scott Scott. If you create the strip in 2013, it SHOULD be copyright 2013. Not the same as the publishing date.

    Sorry, I just feel like hurting people’s jokes today. It’s those damn editorial cartoon comments that set me off.

    Big talk from a guy who’s only ever done the art for six different strips.

    According to Terry Pratchett, it will be the Year of the Reciprocating Camel.

    I thought copyright referred to when something is published, released or posted, not to when it was created. It’s a marketplace thing, not an artistic one. Book and movies that will be released in January of 2014 will have a copyright for 2014, even though they were obviously made in the previous year.

    All right! It’s the annual Basic Instructions PSA on the delayed copyright date change! It seems like only last month we were getting the 2012/2013 message. How time flies.
