When I originally posted this strip, I noted that it was actually the 199th strip, and made the obligatory software engineering off-by-one-error quip in the text below the strip.
Turns out, I was wrong twice. This is actually the 198th strip. I went back and double checked my numbering in all the blog posts, so I'm pretty sure I'm correct this time.
