The book deletes Porky's last word "yesterday" (and moves the question mark up one line). I guess that's because book readers don't get the experience of being fed one strip per day, so the whole conversation appears to happen in one sitting.
Also, the larger page format (than was used in the 1950s books) allows more horizontal space, so that (for instance) Beauregard's hat in panel 3 doesn't crowd into Porky's balloon in panel 4.
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Him saying "yesterday" is pretty funny though!
