Yup, that works. I’m also not sure how many people have noticed that while you can’t click the strip in the ‘comics’ tab to get the full image link, you can right click the image in the overview tab and open the image in a new tab to get its URL. Although I only do this in Wallace the Brave so generally forget about it elsewhere …
I misused the inspect-elements function in chrome (developer tools) to get the image url. Put this url into a google image search – and amongst the image results was one from the original strip. Then zoomed in on the copyright notice to get the earlier date. It actually takes longer to describe than it took to do, but even so ‘cupertino jay’ got there about 10 minutes before I did.
Hey, vampires are after life, not just for Halloween. BTW strip first published Jan 21 2015.
