Line 48:
** Hilariously explained in [http://www.crfh.net/d/20100827.html this] guest strip, nine months into a very, ''very'' long day that didn't actually end until the strip was [[Retool|Retooled]], ''seventeen months later''.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]] on technology datedness in [http://cutewendy.com/go/41 this] ''cutewendy'' strip.
* Comics like ''[[Pv PPvP]]'' and ''[[Unshelved]]'' avoid this by having all comics (save the rare [[Story Arc]] ones) set the day they are posted. Time moves naturally and each strip is a snip from their daily lives in our timeline, allowing the characters to instead inhabit [[Comic Book Time]].
* Although ''[[Ozy and Millie (Webcomic)|Ozy and Millie]]'' have celebrated Christmas every year for the past 11 years, the two main characters have only aged two years.
* Amusingly averted with [[Ciem Webcomic Series|Ciem 1]]. It is set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] (2019-2021 to be exact.) [[Anachronism Stew|Possible future anachronisms like CRT monitors]] aside, the story took two years to make and takes place over the course of three years.
Line 134:
* Lampshaded in this ''[[Ménage à 3]]'' [http://www.menagea3.net/d/20100624.html strip].
* Due to its very sporadic updates, an arc in ''[[Sexy Losers]]'', set during a single day, started in 2004 and ended in 2011.
* A given [[Story Arc]] in ''[[Rumors of War]]'' takes about three months of real time to cover a couple days worth of in-world events. Then it skips ahead a couple months to the events of the next [[Story Arc]]. Recently, there was a [[Whole -Episode Flashback]] to events that followed the end of the very first story arc.
* ''[[Between Failures]]'': running for 4 years and counting, its 700 or so strips cover a grand total of ''three days''.
* In [[General Protection Fault]], most of the action in the To Thine Own Self arc, which lasted over a year of real time (With [[Schedule Slip|some delays]]), took place over the course of a day, and the climax took place over a few minutes.
Line 181:
** An even better indication of this trope: Aaron was played by 57 different infants between the character's birth and leaving the island, because of how quickly the babies grew out of the part.
*** After the three year [[Time Skip]] between the fourth and fifth seasons, the remainder of the series consists of a couple of weeks which is a little over a year real-time.
* Each season of [[Twenty Four24 (TV)|Twenty Four]], [[Running Time in The Title|true to its name]], takes place over a single 24-hour period, while being aired over a span of about 4 months. The series as a whole avoids this trope by having time passing in between seasons be longer than in reality.
* Every episode of ''[[True Blood]]'' takes place over about twenty-four hours with each episode picking up the minute the previous episode ends (With the exception of a two-week time skip in Season 1) The first two seasons take place over 43 days.
* ''[[Breaking Bad]]'': The show has run for 5 seasons since 2008, but has only (at least through season 3) covered a period of a few months.
