190: Portmantime

Explanation
The original strip is about portmanteaus. This edit labels each portmanteau with the earliest year the author could date them to. This is to point out that portmanteaus are not a new term, at least when compared to the length of a human life. Spork, for example, dates back to the 1900s, hardly something to be called "these days".

The author writes:
(Years are to the best of my researching ability. The actual fact may place them even earlier, which would only strengthen the point.)

Why, it's almost as if portmanteaus are older than we think...
