When Does "It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth" (2022) Take Place?
"It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth: An auto-bio-graphic novel." is a meta coming-of-age historical fiction graphic novel written by Zoe Thorogood that released November 9th, 2022. So when is "It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because fairly early on, Zoe says directly to the reader, "It's currently July 2021"...
2021 AD
We know this because fairly early on, Zoe says directly to the reader, "It's currently July 2021"...
Furthermore, partway through amid myriad flashbacks, one textbox specifically tells us "PRESENT DAY (July 2021) AGE: 23 DAYS UNTIL FLIGHT: 21". So it is most likely July of 2021 AD at this point.
Additionally, there is a flashback quite early immediately labeled with free-floating text in a panel of its own reading "2013 AGE 14". So presumably it is 2013 AD at this point.
