Line 60:
* ''[[Something*Positive]]'' sets entire plot arcs on the day the arc is supposed to end. This is usually done for holidays (for example, an arc set on Valentine's Day will start early in February and hopefully end on the 14th).
* ''[[Books Don't Work Here]]'' As of [http://booksdontworkhere.thecomicseries.com/comics/60 Page 60] where this is [[Lampshaded]] the whole comic has taken place in one day. that same page also mentions that there will be two flashbacks coming before the day is done.
* ''[[Drowtales]]'' from [https://web.archive.org/web/20111106104401/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=242&overview=1&chibi=1&cover=1&extra=1&page=1&check=1 Chapter 3, Page 14] to (as of writing this) Chapter 28 takes place over only a few months of comic time, from the end of the school year to the Moon's End Festival. Faen's fleeing was originally drawn in 2003, which means it took 7 years real time for Ariel to rescue Faen. Talk about "The Longest Wait"!
** Additionally, one fan humorously pointed out that one character had been carrying [https://web.archive.org/web/20111106103924/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=631 another's dead body] [https://web.archive.org/web/20111106103603/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5843 for three years].
* All of the posted comics of ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' represent about a round calendar month. This includes two story arcs ('Painted Black' and 'Grace's Birthday Party') which both took over a year and a half to cover periods of roughly six to eight hours, while the week that lay between them took another eight months to tell. The closest to real-time the comic gets is March 2003, which took place over about a week. Meanwhile, between May 2007 and August 2009, we have seen two full days pass and some change.
** As of Thursday, Jan 21, 2010 we wrapped up the day that began on Thursday, Mar 12, 2009. That's only about 10 months for a day.
