I was under the impression it didn't make as many timeskips as Funky Winkerbean and was still several decades behind, and on occasion would jump ahead to now where Crankshaft is a dying old man. If it's 10 years ago, they'd just be moving towards finishing building the thing. First light was 2008.

The timeline is weird, because Funky Winkerbean's time-jumps don't actually change the year. The characters all age up and their lives have progressed, but the strip is still set in the present just like it always was. Crankshaft is also set in the present, but from the perspective of Funky Winkerbean it's the past. There are even crossovers where the characters in Funky remember the events currently happening in Crankshaft as being a long time past, even though they're happening now. So for example, in 2016 Les and Funky might reminisce about something that happened 20 years ago, in 2016. And even though the current Crankshaft story is set in 2016, if we see Crankshaft himself appear in Funky Winkerbean, he'll be 20 years older. It makes no sense.

Haha, yeah, bullying people is fine as long as they are dumb, and certainly never has long term impacts on their growth, development, or life. In fact, if they claim that they have suffered because of your bullying, you should bully them more.

Imagine four tumors inside Lisa's breast. Say a direct copy of the tumor nearest the skin is sent to the back of the line of tumors and takes the place of the first tumor. The formerly first tumor becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth metastasizes. The Funkyverse works the same way.

Luann "Tonight I am going to gently caress your mother, Children." The Amazing Spider-Man  Sally Forth  One thing I like about Sally Forth is that even though the characters don't age, Ces doesn't take the lazy man's way out in regards to their history. When Sally Forth first started in... what, the 90's? Anyway, it would have made sense for this 90's couple with a preteen kid to have gone to college in the 70's or thereabouts. But now a couple of decades have rolled by and it makes more sense chronologically for the Forths to have gone to college in the 90's. And Ces is cool with making that happen. It's silly how rare that is in comics. Looking at you, Curtis's rap-music-hating dad. The Heart of Juliet Jones  Awww.

Republican Vampire posted:Doesn't DC comics work the same way? No, DC just reboots every other year or so, so they're always running in now. You're thinking of Marvel where their continuity is consistent going back to the 60s, but that's just 10-15 years ago. (Stuff that happened in 40s Marvel comics happened in 40s Marvel history.)

Marvel time used to be about 4 to 1, so 20 years ago our time is 5 years ago theirs, but it's never been very exact.

I never read the comic prior to the old strips posted here, but I had to watch the cartoon and the Christmas special every single year and the tone difference between those strips and that cartoon is staggering. It used to have some real bite.
