Here's a tragic idea, what was the comic for your birthday? Ie, if I take my birthdate in dd/mm/yy , the corresponding comic is this one:

3779

Oh dear. But if I used mm/dd/yy I would get this one:

7379

Which is not much better, although it does contain the line "Come to me evil poster"

Anyway, you get the idea.

Although come to think of it not everyone's birthdate would work out.

Mine wouldn't work. If you have two digits in both the day and month fields, there'd need to be at least a hundred thousand comics.

Yes. I didn't really think it through.

Well, my prefered method of mm/dd/yy hasn't been written yet, and won't be for another 40000 strips. I did find one for the dd/mm/yy method.

10878

dd/mm/yy:
051065

Does anyone have good birthday comics?

Your birthday comic says a lot about your personality, you know. And look at the one I got for using 07 for July instead of just 7:

30779

Thanks to this idea, I finally discovered a funny stripper who's not a board regular.

Come back next summer or so to see how that one turns out.

these actually aren't too bad:

30770

this is my bday without the zeros:
3770

this is my bday with the date european style:
7370

verdict:

USA! USA! woo!!

Sensible UK/Oz date - 29/1/7429174

Mixed up US date - 1/29/7412974

In abour 30,000 strips I will be have a "computer date" strip - 74/1/29...

I am sad - both of mine are shithouse. :(

9.17.74.

And since we're not even halfway to #91774 yet, I will have to go with #17974:

17974

Ow. Brain hurts. Ow. Ow.

Although "Will die for food" is a good one....

My birthday doesn't work, so I used my wife's. I can't believe my luck:

21371

The coincidence is that I made the rules to CC35.

Even more coincidentally, I get:

30878

But all my other permutations either don't work yet, or yield boring strips.

This entire thread belongs in the "I am a Colossal Geek" thread...

No it doesn't. It's a sociological experiment.

Which makes it ungeeky?

Any comic made today is a birthday comic for me.

Frankly that scares me.

Man, this makes James sad. My birthday comic is way off....
