How to read this
The Calendar

The saga happens in "our" world so we'll count in years like we do.

Flashbacks

Some events work better as a FLASHBACK for understanding, and are marked as such.

Consistency

No official timeline exists for TWD universe so you'll maybe find some little continuity problems here and there but just don't overthink too much and enjoy. Actors might also be aging very fast in-universe in a span of a few months and go from child to teenager really fast, just pretend it's not a problem neither.
