    I really like Autumn, though. Are you sure that it can’t last another seven years?

      In DOA, seasons last as long as in Westeros.

        You didn’t read the Metaphor story line?

        It starts here: oglaf.com/retribution/ NSFW

          Surely this is a more appropriate storyline to link to.

          (Still not appropriate for work, obvs)

    Oh wow, I’m looking forward to the characters’ winter outfits.

    Of course, he posts this just as he’s starting a new book.

    Don’t believe him! It IS a metaphor…

    Suddenly, Joyce’s thick clothing starts making sense!

    Unless winter starts really early in Indiana, I suspect this means a timeskip over Halloween, and I gotta say I’d been looking forward to months and months of strips of characters wearing costumes because of the rate time passes in the comic.

      I don’t know much about Bloomington’s weather patterns in the past, but this past year it began snowing a few days prior to Halloween.

    Winter is coming. This one will be long and dark things will come with it…

    shoot, this came out 12 days ago and I missed it. What is it about? Massive timequake causing a schism in the space-time continuum?
