Chronology and time doubt

[shodic]

People I think we need that for a a more easy interpretation and for a better organized comic.What you think? One doubt how much time have passed since the first chapter to lastest? Sorry for my bad english

[The KKM]

Sonic the Comic had events happen in real time. We don't have that luxury, otherwise Sonic's in his 30's by now. Easier to let the chronology of events be slightly nebulous.

[Super Sonic]

Does anyone really think of how much time has elapsed from story to story?

[Matt]

umm some fans do, we've stated in the comic before how many years have past, personally I agree with KKM and we try to be quite nebulous, but if we do a christmas story every year......

I guess it depends how seriously you take your blue hedgehogs,
that said if you really want to know the year on mobius my best a fairly over the top maths I did last january gives a fair guess

actually canonically (oh dear nerd) it probably isn't even 2003.... or at least it's maybe 2002 or 2003
I know 2003's the year we started but canonically there might actually be evidence for this (obviously this isn't fact and is me being pedantic)

right so STC was running a comic year was a mobius year (i.e the actual date was mentioned many time in 1997 IRL it was 97 Mobius year etc) so the comic ended in 2000
so 224 take place just after and is therefore also 2000

right so now add 2 previous christmas stories (Christmas specials 2006[or Mobius 2000] and 2007[Mobius 2001])
and this one and your at around 2002

so STC 172 to 240 is the year 2000 (which is 28 actual issue's plus 1 special with a story)
STC 241-244 was a short and boring year of off screen adventure.. 2001 (These will later be picked up by a series of STC Audio play's).
STC 245-259 (14 issues) is 2002

Also the Data Zone in 250 states that 236 was over 2 years ago, and you can just about stretch this to work if you suggest
236 is september ish 2000
and 250 is around september 2002

though this implies 224-236 take place in june to september
and 240-250 takes place over 2 years
and 251-259 plus the last couple of specials take place in about 3 months

so it is 2002
or you could suggest an unseen christmas to make the data zone in 250 work better and this would be christmas 2003
TL;DR
I said a bunch of stuff even I didn't really care about

So Midnight shift in the 2012 Christmas special was Christmas 2002 or 2003 on Mobius making it most likely 2003 or 2004 now.
That would mean that 10 or 11 years have passed since the comic started, making Sonic now around 25, possibly 24 if you take into account his 6 month hop to the future.

Though it's better to take the Archie approach that he's a teen from now until forever.

[Eleonora B.M]

Teen forever. Feels like a real nightmare!

How about 24-25 forver? That's a hole lot better if you ask me!

Also, Sonic and Amy act more along that line rather than the 13-18 standard (and Archie counterpart)Plus Tails feels like the true teen and Porker even older than the first two.

....just my speculation.

[Charles]

My personal view is that years have passed, Tails has grown older and the RBR days are long in the past (hence how KBC gets away with implying bad things about Sonic), but the exact number of years is mumble-mumble. (Putting the explicit "two years ago" in a summary was a mistake on my half, I should have been more vague)

Thank Matt I think not only is interesting as also necessary this issue bccause its a awsome way we feel lost in story and feel that the comic have development what you think?

[Dusty]

I had figured it followed the usual tv show/comic timeline where the comics yearly schedule follows the release schedule, separate parts usually are immediately after the previous, and all the characters either remain the same age or the topic of character ages is ignored all together.
Either way it's really confusing.

As for the calculating, wow Mobius is really behind.
