**A total of 19 comics in a row were related to this pandemic, except the [[:Category:April fools' comics|April fool's comic]], [[2288: Collector's Edition]], which was probably already in the making when the first comic came out (and even if so its release was delayed until April 3rd).

*In the beginning of 2021 several comics relating to the roll out of the [[:Category:COVID-19 vaccine|COVID-19 vaccines]] have been released.
+
*Over the first two years of the pandemic 87 comic relating to the pandemic has been released. And from the [[2275: Coronavirus Name|first]] of those release 2020-03-02 to the last there was rarely long breaks between two releases to mention the pandemic.
 
**The record was 24 releases without mention, between [[2306: Common Cold]] and [[2330: Acceptable Risk]], so 8 weeks. But that was the only time with more than 20 between, and there has only been 6 other breaks with more than 10 releases between them.
 
**But after the last of those 87, [[2563: Throat and Nasal Passages]] released already on 2022-01-03 (two month before the 2 year day), there has not been further pandemic comics released.
 
**This was noticed when [[2615: Welcome Back]] was released on 2022-05-04, four month later (52 releases or 17 weeks). Because in that comic the pandemic is mentioned, but only briefly in the title text. So the welcome back was not welcome back to COVID-19 comics.
 
**If this is counted as a COVID-19 comic, the span was still more than double as long as the previously longest break
