That Letter, That Letter, and That Letter

In the Red Dwarf episode "Bodyswap", originally broadcast on BBC Two on 5 December 1989, Lister (who has temporarily swapped bodies with Rimmer) and Cat are playing a game of Scrabble:

CAT: Hey-hey-hey! I've got you now, buddy! [He holds up his letter rack.] J-O-Z-X-Y-Q-K.

LISTER: That's not a word!

CAT: It's a Cat word!

LISTER: "Jozxyqk"?

CAT: That's not how you pronounce it!

LISTER: What's it mean?

CAT: It's the sound you make when you get your sexual organs trapped in something. "Jozxyqk!"

LISTER: Is it in the dictionary?

CAT: Well, it could be. If you were reading in the nude and you closed the book too quick. [He mimes this.] "Jozxyqk!"

A Little Variety

Anyone with some level of familiarity with Calvin and Hobbes is probably aware of the story concerning the "missing" cartoon. Here's a quick link to the two strips for 28 November 1985, just ten days into the strip's run; the alternate strip appeared in half the newspapers running the comic at the time, and the one that appears in the books (including The Complete Calvin and Hobbes) in the other half. Whilst no official statement was made, the generally accepted theory is that the one not archived was altered out of fear that children might try and imitate Calvin's desire to bathe in a washing machine.

Whilst that is the only case of a strip completely changing, there are five other C&H strips with two different versions. In three cases, these are dialogue changes, and Wikipedia's article on the strip gives the dates for the comics in question but not exactly what's different. So, if like me, you Googled those strips to see what was different about them after reading the Wikipedia article on Calvin and Hobbes... here you go.
