*** The "Lena" strips were by Schwartz's own admission his way of trying to work through a writer's block with some "painfully meta" humor. The decision to prepare to end the strip on its 20th anniversary was made shortly after the end of the Lena arc, and Schwartz used the [[spoiler: the mugger who came back to stab Sabrina]] as the catalyst of change to get the ball rolling for the planned finale.

** As the author stated in "Tail of Two Decades":
--->'''Schwartz''': Conceivably, in Sabrina Online someone could have a new generation of computer or phone appear between the start and the end of the conversation. Still, I think that's become the nature of the comic, and as much fodder for humor as anything else.
