The Minnastry of Truth at work?

[JoB]

Hmmmm. I'm flipping through SSSS pages again (for unrelated reasons) and, right now, page 61 has Nordic Council Lady say:

I believe one of my colleagues only voted "yes" because he lost his glasses and didn't know what he was voting for.

(emphasis mine). I don't remember her representing the "blind vote" thing as anything short of objective fact originally (Feb-2014), and sure enough, the page's image on the webserver has been modified 23-Mar-2015.

I know that Minna has retroactively modified pages so as to eliminate changes in her art style for, e.g., Tuuris and Lallis faces, and to supply native-tongue curses she didn't know at the time of posting the page, but rephrasing background info Minitrue style ... ?

... and what used to be SEclusions is now called an EXclusion on page 86 ...

... the "bunch of monkeys" became a "pack of squirrels" on page 107, along with several other text changes on the same page ...

I am not that old reader to know this but this is interesting
sometimes I want to change my old stuffs, change the english better but I am not doing it as a profession or something.

sometimes I see some english there which sounds weird for me. it can be either literal translation for her native language, which is different in english. I find it interesting to see it and I could accept this way. the characters are nordics, so using nordic phrases in english seems okay to me. (I am not native english speaker so sometimes I won't even notice)

I'm glad someone else noticed this! I was re-reading the comic a few weeks ago (because of course I was) and thought my memory was playing weird tricks on me.

[Róisín]

I'd also noticed, but figured it was likely Minna editing. A pity for some things, I quite liked 'seclusions'.

[LooNEY_DAC]

Does anybody remember when Minna said she wanted to go back and kill her past self for all the little things she'd left until "later" to fix, and "later" was "now", because the book was going to the printers? I think those are examples.

[Headfinder]

Actually, the whole dialogue in page 61 has been edited

Spoiler: show

I have the whole comic saved as a "just in case" archive (Although I was too busy to save chapter 7 as the pages were getting posted, at first; pretty much forgot about that until now).

I should make some .rar files for download, an imgur album or something like that

Yeah, I'm pondering a similar thing ...

Does anyone have before-after examples of this? I noticed some inconsistencies in older Tuuri art (mostly her body rather than her face) but Lalli seems pretty much the same, with a handful of exceptions - I actually admired how Minna seemed to have a very clear image of him right from the start.

There's some discussion of it here.

I meant "just in case", as in, just in case the comic outright dissappears from the internet, or something similarly catastrophic.

It's not like she's changing any key components anyway

Awesome, thank you!

Sure, but the wiki would be rather empty if we'd only state the guaranteed-immutable canon facts there ...

You people are deeply misguided.

We have never been at war with packs of monkeys.

We have always been at war with packs of squirrels.

The Minnastry of Truth loves you.  Nothing has been changed.  Everything is good.  Everything is doubleplusgood.  If you feel your memory is playing tricks on you, report to Minnastry of Acceptance for interior remodeling.

Also, if you have been keeping any private art archives, please bring all the computing and data storage devices you own to the Minnastry of Records.

For.. routine auditing.  Rumors of dissidents being sent to dig out the Keuruu-Pori waterway are completely unfounded.  You have nothing to fear.

... Is this A) a new kind of obscurantism designed to convince us plebs that the ministry is guided by hallucinogenic drugs or B) a reference to the Disqus comments?
