Timeline

This is an attempt to organize the events of the strip into a day-by-day timeline. Obviously, it is a work in progress.
The main evidence used is when events occur in sequence along with references by characters to when past events occurred. The clothing worn by characters can also be used to identify events which are occurring within a single day.
Several time intervals are highlighted: Spring Semester, Summer, Fall.
This timeline does not include guest strips.
