If you don’t have time to glance at the descriptions of the links to see which one it very obviously is, then you probably don’t have time to read a 26 page comic. Thanks.

Better quality that many of the American alternative comics I’ve read. Similar introspective genre.
mfm’s synopsis:
I don’t think I’m psychic, but I keep a dream journal and have had dreams that freak me out. In 1976 I dreamed that the lead singer of Queen died, and was shocked when it happened in 1991. Now it’s 1999. I had a dream in 1981 of a Tsunami, which maybe was suppose to take place in 1996. I discussed it with my friend. Were these prophetic dreams? [A: No. -_mfm_]
Read this from right to left (start in upper right hand corner).

Also the grand-daddy of all science fiction: Jules Verne.
(In Around the World in 80 Days, time zones are critical. The international dateline hadnt been invented yet.)

Actually, Verne stole the idea from his idol, Edgar Allen Poe

Poe, in turn, stole the idea from an anonymous story.

Rabelais, Book II, chapter 1, mentions a “week of three Thursdays.” Poe’s attention was probably attracted by an unsigned article, “Three Thursdays in One Week” in the Philadelphia _Public Ledger_ , October 29, 1841, and by a reference to “three Sundays within nine days” in an article signed “Naval” in that paper on November 17, 1841.[\*](https://www.eapoe.org/works/mabbott/tom2t049.htm#fn064801)

My brother retired in San Diego. He used to talk about the earthquake that was going to knock everything east of California into the sea.

So, the 5th has come and gone. Is Japan still there?

This is all pointless considering that the world ended in 2012, we were all just to busy to notice.
