About the Time Travel Meme
A 4-panel stick figure comic. Two characters emerge from a time portal, excited. "WE DID IT, WE TIME TRAVELED!" one exclaims. "BUT TO WHAT YEAR?" asks the other. "LET ME ASK THAT GUY OVER THERE." The bottom panels are where the magic happens: an empty speech bubble for the question, and another for the answer that cleverly reveals what year it is without ever saying a number.
A 4-panel webcomic. Top panels have baked-in dialogue: "WE DID IT, WE TIME TRAVELED!", "BUT TO WHAT YEAR?", and "LET ME ASK THAT GUY OVER THERE." The bottom panels contain empty speech bubbles where time travelers ask a question that reveals the year through cultural context, and the person responds. The format works because the year is never stated directly; instead, the answer implies it through pop culture, historical events, or technology references. For another "what year" format, see Jumanji What Year Is It.
