   I’d always assumed Father Time was on his way to meet DEATH at the end of the year, and happy to do so.

   I suppose it’s not father time either. It’s the old year.

   I always wanted to do an ongoing strip about the year where we see him age from a baby in Jan to a middle aged man in July and so on. But I couldn’t think of many jokes. But I thought it be funny for a guy in mid to late forties to be enjoying a day in late august to enjoying a time to relax and enjoy life, see the first advertisements for christmas and become morbidly depressed. But other than that I didn’t have much.

   So the new year is like a 15-year-old kid in February? That’s probably why the weather is so screwed up that month.

   @woozy, good one.

   @Mark_in_Boston: what about in Argentina or Australia, where February is the height of summer?

   Death chasing and killing the old year was always a running theme on Sinfest, which I admit I haven’t read in 4 years and looking at it now it seems…. just weird.

   Here’s one of the earlier ones. http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2009-12-29

   The four or five following are pretty ‘grim’, too.

   @Carl: Yeah, why doesn’t someone tell 15-year-old New Year in February to go to a beach in Australia? He’d have a blast and stop screwing with our weather.
