In the November 24, 1987, Calvin says

> Dad says the sun isn't going out. He says it's colder because the earth's orbit is taking us farther from the Sun.

As is documented on the Calvin and Hobbes wiki, this line was altered for The Complete Calvin and Hobbes collection.

> Dad says the sun isn't going out. He says it's colder because our hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun now.

Today, while reading my copy of The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes (dated 1995, 6th printing), I was surprised to see the altered text! On page 94!

So I checked some copies of Yukon Ho! One had 1989 on the Copyright page, and no printing/edition information. The other was a 1991 Scholastic edition. And right there on page 87 is the altered text again!

I have no way of being certain that the Yukon Ho! copy I am looking at is a first edition. So I am wondering, what's written on your copy of Yukon Ho!, and The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes?

First, the link:

It looks like the usual Calvin and Hobbes search website (made by Mike Yingling) is down, so I also made one.

It has links to the GoComics pages for each strip, and a simple bookmarking tool for keeping track of your favourites.

If you would like to contribute corrections, transcripts, or update the list of comics in the collections, here's a link to the source code:

If you have your own scans, there are also some barebones instructions for adding pictures to the site. Looks something like this if you do:

Lastly, here are some links to prior work:

s-anand.net (2010, and where these transcripts come from)

Was the November 24, 1987 Comic Altered in Yukon Ho!?
