    A question I’ve had for a while, why spam the current date on these when they were released in the 80s and 90s?

    Should it not be the date of release?

      I contemplated the same question yesterday and quickly came to the conclusion that the copyright year of each cartoon is already included in the picture, So I’m already satisfied with that.

      and to expect OP to research & determine the exact date of original publication would be a lot of pointless effort.

      I’m fine with the current modern date being posted on these because we are living in the present and I could easily glance at these and know whether or not I’ve read it before, because oh my gosh it’s seven December and that is right now!
