...It happens in June. (;

Coincidentally, it ships in June!

(I'm writing parts of it now, and having such fun.)

Isn't that what started the comic book industry?

Interesting. Based upon the way Ray referred to Labor Day (forget which issue) and the billboards and stuff in the background while the guys were fighting the Terror Bear in #3, I would have pegged the ongoing to currently be in October-November.

He mentioned Labor Day in #3 as well. Hard to say how much time is passing so looks like a big jump after #7-8 unless Ray was referring to the previous year's Labor Day.

Well, we started in (roughly) spring. The first story took only a week or so. Second story arc, though a month later, is all in one night.

No one ever said the labor day mentioned was that year's. (;

Sweet! You've made one of the timeline nuts very happy. Wink

Still, there's the Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff in the background downtown that ish. No biggie though.

I really like how you let time pass between arcs. Let's the narrative breathe. Too often you see comic series have each issue just follow the other one immediately.

Well, sometimes Dan throws background things in that don't totally mesh with the "when" of it. lol. We leave him alone because he's the man.

Anachronisms in GB comics? Sure! (:

(Even Hotz had one in Infestation. They happen!)

Interesting! Fixing a date means we have to run back what's happened before to get those exact dates.....

Actually I'm not going to go that far with it. I did just see the previews summary of #10 - very excited! First thing I thought of was that old "Another man done gone" song.

No argument here.

Speaking of Infestation, that took place not long before #1 of the ongoing right? I'm thinking late January to mid February, somewhere in that range.

Hey, cool! Semi-real time comics!

(If "semi" can be defined by about 15 years or so separation from modern-day, that is.)

In Issue #4's PCOC file, there is a passage that refers to the Infestation event and that it "happened last year." So it looks like it happened just after the "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" story in the Haunted Holidays trade paperback (just after Thanksgiving and likely before it started snowing).
