How old are the strips?
The original version of Faux Pas goes back to 1979. The scripts currently used for the strips seen online are mostly from the mid-80s, with some refinements to accommodate current slang and popular culture. (We weren’t going to do that originally, but strip #13 netted us a number of questions from people who thought Chico Marx was a communist dictator in Mexico….) A few of the transitional strips are relatively new because (we think) we write better now than we did back then, but most of the strips for the first few years were scripted back in the age of the dinosaurs.
