Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for May 01, 2014

- 43rd French Mens Tennis: Ilse Nastase beats Nikki Pilic (63 63 60)

That’s all I came up with.

an the government paid 10 million for that piece of art!

1973 – The first hole-in-one in the British Amateur golf championship was made by Jim Crowford.

Reminds of a plaque in a nearby building that says “On this site, in 1803, nothing happened”

I assume the strip is referring to:

June 5, 1973: The Soviet satellite Kosmos 562 is successfully launched into low Earth orbit at 11:29:47 GMT, from Site 133/1 at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.

Of course, I don’t think you could consider this event rewriting history, since that was the 57th out of 72 in that program to reach orbit.

Oh, they must have made the common core history book on that date!

is it the president’s birthday???

What point is a comic if no one gets it except the comic writer. I shall add this to my 10 volumes of STUPID LIST.

Maybe it was Tom Wilson’s birthday ?i

Something extremely important could have happened. However, if history has been rewritten, it may no longer be recorded. Didn’t anyone here read 1984?

It was a very special day for me but no-one knows it!!!

What is your point?

I’m reminded of those fake historical plaques you can get for your abode, shed, outhouse, whatever you like, that reads something like, “ON THIS SITE IN 1872 NOTHING HAPPENED.”
