"Meanwhile, in Melbourne" Back to the Comic
"Meanwhile in Melbourne" is a sister piece to "One Year." It takes the same day/night cycle concept, but rather than moving the story through time it moves it through space. Whenever (and wherever) the viewer loads the page it displays their current time, and the same moment in Menborne, Australia (adjusting for time zone shifts, daylight savings time, etc.) As an added visual gag, the second panel is flipped using CSS. There are two slight miscalculations with this piece. The first is that there is no method I could find where if the person is in the Southern Hemisphere the first panel be flipped as well. The second is there is not a simple way to account for true sunrise/sunset times, so they are approximated with dawn being from 7-8AM and dusk being from 7-8PM
