Half Price Is Way Too Much for a 5-Year-Old Calendar

In prison, a man peers around a corner. "Okay, Harry. The coast is clear! Start digging!" Harry, I assume, starts digging, already in a hole up to his waist. "How you doing?" "Three more feet and we'll be under the wall," Harry replies. Suddenly, some black gold and Texas tea begins erupting from the hole. As Harry and the other prisoner run away, one of them says "What a disgusting time to strike oil!"
January 29, 1966
I feel constructing the prison would've already discovered oil. Clearly Harry damaged a pipe or something. Why the person who should be in that guard tower didn't see anything, I can't explain though.

Are they running away from the prison or running back to their cells?

Brutus stands in front of Gladys holding a calendar that has a dog on it. "I bought a new calendar for us. It was half price." "That's a 2019 calendar." "That's probably why it was such a good deal."
Hmm. Printing reruns from 2019 doesn't really work when the strip comments on what year it is. Buying a 2019 calendar when 2025 is less than a week away makes me worry about Brutus' cognitive abilities. Did he suffer some brain damage when at the mall returning gifts?
