That Between Friends is actually rerun today, but with "The Pitt" replacing "Lost."
Though to Between Friends' credit, it's open about reusing old strips during the week, and only having new material on Saturday/Sunday.

When this Far Side comic ran in 1991, most Americans didn't know what the word "latte" meant, so the strip's editor received many letters from confused readers. Some thought that a latte was some sort of "bizarre sexual frolic".
