+ | The narrator discovered that it is simple and inexpensive to have a commemorative plaque made, and so had a commemorative plaque made to record that event. This comic is similar to previous comics, such as [[2682: Easy Or Hard]]. The comic both indicates the lack of knowledge many people have about how simple or difficult it is to do a certain thing, and the over-the-top response a person might have to a relatively mundane discovery. | ||

The comic subverts an expectation that a plaque about May 5 would be to commemorate either the 1862 {{w|Battle of Puebla}}, which took place on May 5 and inspired the holiday, or, after the reader notices the year on the plaque, some 2023 event related to the holiday. |

It equates it being almost exactly as much deserving of a plaque as the very act of obtaining a plaque, and now a second one, to also have finally been able to properly attach it (them) to the chosen wall. |
