The Meaning of Lila by John Forgetta and L.A. Rose for January 02, 2013

Yes, it is bad.

I thought these were reruns! Are John and L.A. writing new strips?

IMHO, I think JWF could have left the original dates. It’d be nice to know when this actually was published. When some of their electronics (i.e. PCs, phones, etc.) and notable events (if mentioned) aren’t current, I prefer to “indulge” in the comic in it’s true time frame of the past.When I know certain “Lila” events (i.e. Annie, Drew’s crisis, etc.) occurred before late 2012, it seems slightly strange to see her saying it’s 2013, and she’s alone with her cat, and the other events hadn’t occurred yet. Did I over say it?

… if you don’t know how deep in debt you are, you’re too deep …

my guess is that the dates are modified (see closely size of year in comparison with the rest of the font size). I think the writters were forced to interrupt storyline about Ann…. to save us the pain of Ann’s death. Am I wrong?

Over the holidays were they repeats? Where was Annie?

Given Lila’s astounding amount of debt, I’m wondering if 2013 wasn’t the original year mentioned ;)

Thanks corzak. Interesting to know.
