    Artist's name followed by the date, YY-MM-DD.

    I can believe the MM-DD part, but YY varies quite a bit to the point that I doubt it's a year. Like some of the art has A0 or A1 as the "year", and I'm seeing numbers ranging from 01 to 24 to 77. I assume UH stands for Urban Hermit but there are 6 to 8 characters after that point that seem random. That's where my confusion is coming from.

    So turns out some of these are as old as the 70s. Also, A0 or A1 was the artist's way of writing the year 2000 or 2001, though they switch between using an A or a 0 at times. They actually had a lot of .swf s on their furaffinity that used B0 - B6 for 2010-2016.

    The artist scanned and traced over quite a few of these drawings later on.
    I found some explanation here: https://web.archive.org/web/20040617124631id_/http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Urban-Hermit/0_Text_files/ABitOfHistory.txt
