Alt text:

Of course in reality this is just a US/UK thing; in British English, ‘fall’ is the brief period in between and ‘autumn’ is the main season.

        I know (I’m British) and the US doesn’t have Autumn. They are the other way around.

        In the comic, the US has both, with Autumn in the brief period before Summer ends and Fall starts. The alt text is saying the UK has the two the other way around.
