Dolly died on 14 February, 2003. Her death had been preceded just a week earlier by the deaths of other cloned animals.

Yes, that's a Calvin and Hobbes T-shirt I'm wearing in panel 4. Yes, I know Bill Watterson has not licensed any Calvin and Hobbes products and that this shirt was produced by an intellectual property pirate. I did not know that at the time I bought it, however, and assumed Bill had been paid a licensing fee. I discovered these facts only years later. Throwing away what has become my all-time favourite shirt now seems like a futile protest, so I have kept it.

This strip generated the most comment of any strip so far. Most of the "Aaaaugh!", "That was awful!", and "How could you?!" variety.
