Yes, the tree-swing concept was already around during my first two years of university, 1968-1969 and 1969-1970. So was the "Gefingerpoken und das Blinkenlichts". Hartmut W Sager - Tel +1-204-339-8331 On 31 May 2015 at 23:44, Wyatt Zacharias <wyatt@magitech.ca> wrote:

Not sure what the original source of the first one is, but it looks like the original tree-swing concept goes back to the 70's or earlier. Here are the source links for proper author credit (and link reliability). http://www.businessballs.com/treeswing.htm (Closest I could find. Touches on their suspected origins of the comic) http://xkcd.com/292/ http://xkcd.com/1425/ http://www.brainstuck.com/2009/02/27/mysql/ https://xkcd.com/664/ http://xkcd.com/208/

And no, I don't have anything better to do on a Sunday night. =p
