Basic Trope: The timeframe of a work of serial media is much smaller than the time it took to publish it.
- Straight: Alice and Bob has the titular characters in a summer vacation, and it last for several years.
- Exaggerated: Alice and Bob is a Long Runner that covers the same summer by having several episodes take place in the same day.
- Downplayed: The show premieres in summer and only lasts very few episodes, but the last one airs after summer ended in real life.
- Justified: ???
- Inverted:
- Comic-Book Time
- Alice and Bob covers the entire lifetime of the titular characters, but it only lasts a single summer.
- Subverted: The show covers multiple summers, despite seeming like it lasts only one summer.
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: Everything takes place in the same second.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: The show does not cover a summer vacation and the episodes take place around the time they air.
- Enforced: The author doesn't want to make the characters the same age forever, but also doesn't want them to age. So, the entire story takes place in a short time frame.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
