I’ve read somewhere that Sunday strips are usually submitted earlier than the weekly ones so the Sun strips probably hadn’t caught up to the uniform change yet.
Yeah. There have been several times now where some ongoing dialog was cut in half by a “elsewhere in the store” one shot. Sometimes even with the same characters. – That was a Sunday strip
Sunday strips are usually independent of the storyline (if any) in the weekday strips. Two reasons, one largely historical:
1. Some newspapers don’t publish Sunday editions, so nothing important to a storyline can appear on Sunday.
2. Historically, Sunday strips were in color and weekday ones weren’t, so the deadlines for Sunday strips were earlier to leave time for color processing. Most cartoonists don’t work very far ahead of their deadlines, so Sunday strips had to be finished and sent off before the weekday strips were even written.
Result: it was really difficult to have Sunday strips fit into a running storyline, and still is to some extent, so it’s a lot easier to make them independent stand-alone gags.
I’m reminded of an Archie storyline where he comes up with an idea to drum up business at the Chok’lit Shoppe by making coupons. It all backfires because Archie doesn’t put a limit of “one coupon per customer” and Pop has no money by the end of the week (or maybe it was just one day?) because by then customers were using “triple coupons” and, by the logic of the coupon math, Archie had to pay them $1.50 each.
I’m honestly astounded that Grumbel’s corporate didn’t catch something like this when they were planning all their various rewards programs, especially since full advantage of it means they have to give money BACK to a customer.
If you don’t want people using the perks, don’t offer the perks. Easy peasy.
Where is the uniform?

Sunday strips aren’t usually canon, in my book.

This is why most stores will only allow one discount per transaction. Also if you go past zero,, then it doesn’t count
