Regarding saving things:If you didn’t already know, you can save this (or any) strip in a Collection, by clicking the ADD TO COLLECTION button (to also optionally set up a new one) at the bottom of the strip.You can access it by clicking the Collections button, in green above the image, in any strip, or from your profile page.Provided @pcolli or GoComics doesn’t delete it, the comment should be there.If you later want to remove a strip from a Collection, you can do that as one of the MORE button options at the bottom of the strip there.Or you could add this to your Favorites by clicking the star at the bottom of the strip.
What I mentioned are conveniences more than anything. GoComics keeps an archive of every strip. A complete archive goes back at least as far as the strip has been on GoComics, and there may be an additional (perhaps with gaps) archive that goes back farther, in some cases, such as Peanuts, all the way back to its beginning.The archive is accessed either by the (calendar icon, to jump around in the archive), or by the arrow(s) next to it (to age one strip at a time), at the upper right of the strip frame.Depending on how you access the strip, the may or may not be active. If you click it and all the prior days of the month are grey and it has no left arrow next to the month, then it isn’t active. Close it by clicking outside it, and click the arrow next to it. That will open the prior strip (so, don’t do this if you have a pending comment to submit). It should be active there.The days which have strips, are highlighted in blue. The ones that don’t, are in grey (for this strip, Saturday & Sunday for the last several months). Click the day to see that day’s strip.You can use the left and right arrows in the calendar to change months. If the strip has been around long enough, you can change the year by using the drop down menu next to the month, or by decrementing from January, or incrementing from December. If you want to go back more years than the menu shows, click the oldest, and if the archive goes back farther, the new calendar that’s displayed will have a new set of years in the drop down menu.So if you remember a particular strip that you wanted to save the comment(s) from, it should be there, you just have to look for it. Once you find it, you can use what I said earlier to save it.
