Jeph is sure taking a "light" period! I don't mind at all though.

So there's a two seasons time lag.
But is the comic still in the summer of 2012 or already in 2013?
pwhodges:
We know well that time flows differently in the strip, while still remaining basically in step with the present; beyond that it's not worth thinking about, really. Having a different season in the strip provides a little escapism in the depths of winter, I suppose.

For all we know, it could be the summer of '69.
Or it could be 1942, the year of the birth of my father, the Eternal General Secretary. After all, the comic is intentionally vague on dates and though it has explicitly mentioned years before, they could easily be under a less enlightened calendar. All we really know is that it basically looks and acts just like now ('now' being whenever a comic is written) but with some advanced tech literally walking around courtesy of the Workers Party.

Faye has the all-seeing eye. Her hypothetical kids are doomed.
And it *is* summer right now, what is everyone talking about? :wink:
