I Think Quinn Pushed Her Sister Too Far This Time!

Daria's giving everyone fair warning for Plan Your Epitaph Day, but I'd hurry. She seems pretty eager with that shovel.

Besides, death is the theme of the day since it's also All Souls' Day, a day to remember the dead. Considering that's Quinn's name on the gravestone, I don't think that'll be a problem. The most popular girl at Lawndale High is unlikely to be forgotten any time soon, right?

Sandwich Day!

Let's see what's on the Daria Calendar... today is All Souls Day, and it is Bean Day if you live in North Dakota. (Think about this kid in Holiday Island High. What's he best known for? Right.) It is the 66th birthday of 1988 presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, whose bumper sticker graces the refrigerator of the Morgendorffer home (per The Daria Database). And it is the 52nd anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 2, which put the first dog in space: Laika. Cute little thing.

And it is National Sandwich Day, celebrated because the man for whom the sandwich was named—John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich—was born this day 291 years ago. An episode of 30 Rock was named for Sandwich Day, and a scene from that show provoked a hunt for the most famous sandwich in that episode. People are weird. The image at upper left is a peanut-butter sandwich drawn by the MTV staff, the same sandwich Jane peeled from Daria's butt in "Road Worrier" (upper left). Those crazy kids.

Gooooooo, Cheerleaders! Yay!

Today, and I swear this is true, is celebrated as the 110th anniversary of the invention of cheerleading.

Not sure what else to say about that.

Maybe nothing. Let's move on.

Today is also All Souls Day at Holiday Island High, and also still the Day of the Dead, like yesterday, and is the 51st anniversary of a famous UFO case that Daria surely knows about, since she's into that sort of thing. The longest-operating commercial radio station in the U.S. is 88 today. BBC One is 72.
