History
The comic was character-based in a previous incarnation, focusing on the romantic and academic endeavors of several college students. That strip (referred to as Classic SMBC on the site's archives) ran from January 28, 2002 to September 3, 2002. The comic went through three other renderings between Classic SMBC and the current version. The current version of the strip began on September 5, 2002 and has updated daily since.
The first 480 comics were originally removed from the main SMBC archives; however, they could still be found on a hidden section of the site that was linked to in the SMBC forums by Weinersmith himself. He made them officially publicly available on September 22, 2008. In most comics you can now see a bonus joke by hovering over a red button with the mouse. The earliest is on the comic dated November 27, 2006.

It resembled a mare shuffling on,

nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
