Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
First, I have no special āināā¦ Iām just a reader like all of you, but I started, I think, in 2006 on Comics.comā¦and read back in the archives through most of 2005, and also one or two of the booksā¦.The plot has always been full of flashbacksā¦. and my memory sometimes full of holesā¦so this is the best I can doā¦if anybody has corrections, feel free!
People ask meā¦ so Iāll tryā¦Paigeā¦.. if you can helpā¦.. Or anybodyā¦.
Firstā¦. The 2012 strip was set in 2012
Near the end of that year, Jane and Dorothy found Janeās lost Uncle Otis, or perhaps his spirit, and drove him through a time portal (which looked just like the Marin County tunnelā¦) back to 1967 San Francisco, where they left himā¦and also found the āhippie chickā, Starr.
On the way home, they accidentally drove HER back to 2012.Soā¦ Starr has never existed in any years between 1967 and 2012.
Then sometime in April, 2013, Jane and Ethan started talking about Dixieā¦.and remembering the floral couch, and Ethan and Dixieās break-upā¦and we saw those strips again in flashback.
I think it had actually happened in 2006 around the time I started reading ā¦(and THAT flashback included a brief, farther flashback to Jill and Chelle in Nevada (?) even before that.)
Thatās also when we saw Dixie get abducted, and say ānot again.āā¦ but it happened in 2006, not 2013.
Then, Iām not exactly sure when, but a month or two later maybe, we flashed back to BEFORE Dixie, to 2005ā¦ we saw Jane and Talia go to a furries convention with 2005 banners hangingā¦
Ever since then, AFAIK, weāve been in 2005.
If weāve read the strip through the years, we know that Jane and Dorothy will get together and break up several times, and Jane and Skye, as wellā¦.There will be all sorts of plot twists, including the months-long Last Starfighter parodyā¦and BTW parody is NOT ārip-off!ā
But right now, in 2005, NONE of that has happened yet!
Iām not exactly sure ā¦. anybody?ā¦. but I think right now weāre seeing Dixie during her first abductionā¦the one she refers to when sheās beamed up AGAIN after walking out on Ethan. I donāt think I ever saw the beginning of that arcā¦ or itās a memory lapse.
Andā¦ againā¦. the hippie chick wonāt exist until or unless we get back to 2013 in Janeās life.
She completely skipped 2005 and 2006 in her own life.
ok thanks Susan, and when I wrote ārip-offā the other day, it was cause i could not think of the word "parodyā -so -sorry about that ā while some of this is fun, would really like to have some of these storys tied up ā am sure that a few are interrealated ā like is Ted, the hubby to the Truck driver woman, and could he be Chelleās ā adoptive parrent ?
Davidā¦. LOLā¦ I couldnāt remember who said it ā¦ but others have tooā¦or mentioned lawsuitsā¦ when parody is perfectly fair use under the law, and bread and butter for such as Mad Magazine and SNL.
As for tying up storylinesā¦youāre talking about NINE YEARS of stripsā¦ 2005 to 2014ā¦ a zillion convoluted plotsā¦which you can read in the booksā¦and some are in the archivesā¦.Theyāre not all going to be wrapped up in a few months of flashbacksā¦. especially if Paige finally gets time to do new work set in the present day, and stops the re-runs.
If that happens, thoughā¦. maybe Starr will come backā¦and people can stop asking about a brief, minor character.
And if it doesnāt happenā¦all the questions will eventually be answered in the next nine years of āClassic Jane,ā a great read or re-read.
want to buy those, but want to put on my nook instead of having oversized collections again, had a lot of doonsbury and others over the years and they all seem to take up a lot of space in book shelf ā any word of these being in an electronic format?
