How funny – the strip for yesterday is the one I was seeking, but since I’d remembered it wrong, it was no help to the point I’d wanted to illustrate about 1980s immigration policies. With a sigh, I moved forward to this strip, simply to finish re-reading the series even though the hours (yes, hours) spent huntgin it were in vain. Lo and behold, a different installment that backs my point perfectly. Lovely.
