	Regarding a five-season system, I immediately come to think of the situation in Sweden. There are the four standard seasons, but it's often mentioned that the Sami people has eight seasons. The only one of the four "intermediate" seasons used but the majority people (to some extent), is the "spring-winter". So, in the Swedish language it ''might'' be possible to talk about five seasons. :) [[User:Fomalhaut\|Fomalhaut]] ([[User talk:Fomalhaut\|talk]]) 14:24, 11 September 2023 (UTC)		Regarding a five-season system, I immediately come to think of the situation in Sweden.

	Interestingly, assuming that the September 1st is marked as the midnight (00:00hrs, otherwise identifiable as 24:00hrs of August 31st), the tick-marks being day-boundaries and the whole-bar mark being month-boundary, the position marked for the equinox appears to be ''very'' close to the time of 06:50 on the 23rd, which makes it agree with the ''UTC/UT1'' timing for this year's actual moment of south-bound equinox. Translated to Randall's presumed TZ at the time (-5, and +1 back for DST) surely it should happen to him significantly closer to the midnight marker, however. Not sure if he's being very clever or slightly sloppy.

 ::By the way, if you take a look at the difference between Gregorian and Julian calendars, the Gregorian calendar was designed to correct for the 0.25% imprecision of the Julian calendar, so Julian dates for the equinoxes and solstices are actually ~16 days later than Gregorian dates for the same. Hence why Orthodox religions observe different dates for Xmas and Easter. (Interestingly, the Jewish calendar was codified before the Gregorian calendar was proposed, and the Jewish calendar tries to unite lunar and solar cycles [according to the 19-year Metonic cycle], so Jewish dates having to do with the solar revolution are only accurate in the Julian calendar.) {{unsigned ip|162.158.155.160|04:00, 8 September 2023}}

 I think the statement "nowhere uses the type of five-season system shown in the comic." deserves an actual "citation needed" and not the joke one.
