Brushing off the dustOk all, long time, no words from me on this. Update on the Go-er Chronology coming soon! But new stuff being added too! I have read through all 4 comics by First Comics, and I can't find any reason to not include them. They have some fun moments, and actually add a bit to the timeline. One issue is of course that holiday conflict. Easy answer which I hope sits well with others here is to place all four comics in 1987 instead of 1986. Dates for comic depends on first, what holiday its about (2 comics covered), and then by month published and on the first of the month in those two cases. I always assumed the cartoon timeline ran from 1986 to 1988 even "in-fiction" and not only by real world's standards (ours). As far as the comics don't contradict any element/storyline from the cartoon (and I sense they don't), it seems to me pretty cool adding them to the official FGB continuity. |

As soon as I thought everything was smooth sailing, I hit a snag! lol
First of all, has anyone noticed that the comics came out from February 87-June 87? (No May issue by the way) This changes things for the two comics with no holiday (#2 and #4). First off #2 has snow shown in it and its release date is March, which while its not completely unlikely to happen, my gut tells me the comics were not released on schedule. Due to this I think its best to have #2 happen November 1st 1987, and #4 be January 1st 1988(Yeah 1988!). Oh one more funny thing, the comics show that the Ghost Command is in New York City. Its revealed in #4 comic.

Twin towers anyone? After all, it's an alternative universe, so... Sigh yeah. I ain't really happy about it to be honest. I was always thinking they lived in like San Francisco, CA. Knowing they are in New York destroys any hope of having them in a story together and saying (well they didn't know about each other). Oh well  |

Who's to say that the FGB version of San Francisco doesn't have a Twin Towers?
Parallel world, Devil, parallel world.

I gotta go with it as there is nothing to say otherwise. I guess one can always argue what is canon by who made it. Lou wasn't in the process of the comic book. But since the canon never addressed where they were, we have to get info from stuff from the shows and second source stuff (such as the comics). The episode "Statue of Liberty" has the landmark from New York in it, and Jessica Wray is covering it. I can point to that as also materials that suggest the comic is right. Now, personally you can in fanon argue this fact out if you want, thats your call. I ain't going to enforce this. But nothing suggests otherwise. |

Also, remember that they flew to get there. You could argue that this might also place them in NYC (ferries and all that) but there isn't anything to disprove that SF isn't their base of operations, either. I'm afraid that it's a bit of a Schrodinger's cat in a way--are they in NYC or are they in SF? I say SF to differentiate them from the Columbia Pictures team so that the two teams may never meet unless it's a grave emergency. |

Devil,
Scuotiossa reported me that there are several problems surrounding "Country Cousin" in terms of continuity and/or chronology --- especially if you read the BCI booklet.

Devil, Scuotiossa reported me that there are several problems surrounding "Country Cousin" in terms of continuity and/or chronology --- especially if you read the BCI booklet. Country Cousin and Whither Why switched spots from the original airing for continuity reasons. However, the booklet for the boxset uses the wrong screencap with the two episodes. The reason for the switch was cause Beauregard was introduced in Country Cousin, and in Whither Why he is in the group called Batz. As far as the episode itself they made a minor mustache when Ghost Buggy is flying out of the garage and then in the next screen is seen on the ground driving. This was noted in the booklet. Is there anything else here? I don't see a big fuss. |

I say SF to differentiate them from the Columbia Pictures team so that the two teams may never meet unless it's a grave emergency. Like said Earlyer, I am going with the facts first, but as a fan I would first thing say, I disagree and since the original series (75) was shot in CA, I'll fanon it to that. Most things such as age of the actors were passed on to they animated counter parts. The Animated series has more connections to the OGB so I fanon NY being base out. However, I wont officially do that cause there was nowhere that it was stated they were in CA even tho we all know it was filmed there. In the 80's it was just the thing to say everything was happening in NY, NY. But the Comic only addressed this, so its the best we got. |
