Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Hello everyone!
The bot stopped working two weeks ago, and I only now noticed thanks to a mention by @mmmm@sopuli.xyz. Thanks, fellow sopuli.xyz user! It is now fixed, and will now function in catch-up mode, posting every 12 hours until the dates again match.
If any of you notice a delay of more than about 24h in strips, please leave a comment on the latest strip with a mention. That way, I'll get a notification aside from me just not seeing the strips in my feed.
I fully intend to have the bot running on my hardware indefinitely, and will announce it if that changes.
Ah, so this was what was missing.
Thanks for your bot and work. It really blended with my daily routine.
A disturbance was felt across the fediverse. But as balance was restored, a wave of relief washed over the users of threadiverse platforms.
