Earth Years

Published January 1, 2012

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "Earth Years" published January 1, 2012 - Roger: Good morning Happy New Year! Jason: Oh, please. Spare me your earth-centric time labels! Roger: Huh? Jason: Just because on earth "year" has 365 "days," doesn't mean the rest of the universe has to dance to your celebrations. Maybe you should acknowledge the planet Mercury and say "Happy New Year" every few earth months! Or be nice to Jupiterians and only say it every twelfth earth year! Personally, I'm in solidarity with Pluto. I won't acknowledge a year has passed until your precious earth calendar reads 2259. Roger: You REALLY don't want to turn 11, do you?! Jason: That's when Peter says he started liking girls! Do you blame me?!
