Arkleseizure:
Excellent work on the timeline. If I may ask, why do you think it starts in the winter? In strip 128, Faye and Marten talk about the new skirts indie girls are wearing. Marten says, "So I guess those pleated skirts are the new indie fashion for this summer, huh." This make me suspect that this strip takes place sometime in Spring, rather than January.

Hello, level 13+ Cleric/Bard! Where did you get that diamond from?
I kid, I kid. Always nice to see a new face around here. The Spring/Winter thing is discussed right at the beginning of the thread, but I can't remember exactly how it settled. A quick glance says that seasons weren't really touched on for a while in-comic, so there's not much reason why it couldn't have started in Spring, and there's a timeskip fairly early that would allow for quite some movement.
dutchrvl:
Some of the 'previously' timeline is off. It states Marten moved to Northampton in Summer 2003 and met Faye in November 2003, but in comic 2332 Pintsize states taht he was Marten's only friend for 2 years before he met Steve.
The easiest way to reconcile would probably be to place the start of the comic 2 years later and having Marten be about 2 years older than Claire(?)
