		+	:Because nobody has yet decided to remove the Incomplete template?
		+	:It's 'only' six days old. Some people might not visit daily, and people don't rush in to declare incomplete anything under a week, that's only ''three'' so-called-incomplete comics that maybe someone would agree that this notification still applies to.
		+	:But, truth be told, the Incomplete tag is purely ornemental. Those who might want to edit a comic (''or'' personally think it's 'completely explained') don't tend to rely upon this marker anyway. In the early days of the site, it was a means of marking the mass of basic articles that still needed looking at, but these days it's more a standard marker placed by the 'bot' that finds and records new comics, and has become a place to add a bit of site-humour in replacing the "created by a BOT" bit by some form of humour.

	I think all three of these (sun with sunglasses, smiling sun, frowning sun) are unicode emojis. And the progression from sun with sunglasses -> smiling sun, and smiling sun -> frowning sun, mirrors the progression from a "watch" to a "warning".
