The comic has been running in the pages of ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Independent]]'' since 1987, then ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Daily Telegraph]]'' from 1992, and the strip has been duplicated on the Web since 1999. It has always updated five days a week (Monday to Friday) without fail, matching the newspaper copy, although it takes a short break whenever the cartoonists have a holiday, as the strips are drawn the day before publication.
