    I don’t want to come off as snippy, but how many festivals/parties are there on Monotropa? It seems like a good chunk of chapters is dedicated to them and it’s kind of coming off as lazy writing.

      I think realism in stories, seen as having inherent value, is like what “fair and balanced” is to journalism.
      Saying “lazy writing” is lazy criticism.

      As a timeline the festivals fit nicely, the apple festival should be close to the winter holiday, because apples are a fall/winter fruit. But I agree with you, 4 out of 18 chapters are festivals. That’s about 1/5 of the comic with these last two being wayyyy too close to each other.

        I mean, judging from the apparent season/time of the year of each festival, they seem to roughly correspond with real-life holidays. Cornucopia lines up with the US’s Thanksgiving, which occurs on the third Thursday of November of every year, and this current one corresponds with the mess of holidays happening at the end of December/early January. Because of that, it makes sense for them to be close together in comic-time.

      There’s at least two a month where I live, more in the summer. I’d guess it’s a thing in farming areas, since I’m in a rural-ish area. Plus, who wouldn’t wanna have parties when it’s nice and warm outside?

      I don’t want to come off as snippy, but don’t they have to go to the toilet sometimes? What’s the deal with the story focusing on the memorable things happening in the protagonists’ lives? When are we going to learn about The Three Seashells™? We are missing out on at least a month of comic strips on the loo by now.

      Seriously: I don’t mind lazy reading and letting Gina do the lazy writing. I am still by far the lazier of us two.

        I chuckled more than I should have at the subway XD to me it’s not lazy wrighting, more likely to tell readers about a timeskip by “show don’t tell” and there is NOTHING wrong with that in _my_ book, seemes like you would think like me ^^

      I love how the chapters are structured around the festivals. It gives a sense of the passage of time and it creates a lot of the atmosphere of the story. It feels very deliberate and intentional, and also, as other people pointed out, not unrealistic, since our real calendar is definitely colored by celebrations and observances.

    Yeah! What’s up with there being Halloween in October, Thanksgiving and sometimes Passover in November and also Diwali in either of those two months depending on the year, and then in December there is Chanukah, the December Solstice, Christmas, Christmas EVE??, boxing Day, Yule, and NEW YEAR’S EVE?? WHAT GIVES?? SO MANY DINGDANG HOLIDAYS. It’s only three months!! Lazy writing. 🙁

    It’s a agricultural planet. Festivals based around the harvests and seasons are a completely normal part of agriculture for humans all over the globe – it makes sense that that tradition would carry into space.

    You know there’s some real truth to this- in the Winter, many people go to warmer areas. Like I know people like to take cruises in the Caribbean during the Winter since Hurricane Season is over lol.

    Good heavens. For one thing, from basically October to the beginning of January, we’re in festival/holiday mode – that’s normal. Plus, in a comic that only posts a couple of times a week, there’s only so much story Gina can tell!

    maybe with their society being more technologically advanced and more ‘jobs’ etc being done by machines, people have more free time and so they’ve developed more of an emphasis on recreational/leisure activities like festivals?

    Personally, I would like to see some mention of other industries than just Eyebright all the time. I mean, there have to be some other companies besides just them on this planet, even if they are the dominant one. All these festivals, but all we ever hear about or see is Eyebright. It’s like nothing else exists. I find it mildly annoying.

      The good news is there are other industries. Some that have been featured thus far are: The Looking Glass dance club, Monotropa Welcome Center, Wellness Center spa, The Stump dance club, Honeydews Cafe, Custom Cut clothing store, Cloud Chaser, Sunshine Cafe, Foster Center, and Sugar x Spice Bakery. There have been other little restaurants and a hospital shown as well, but the ones listed above had actual names and several pages dedicated to them or even shown up more than once.
