Dates in the ledger

Every dated claim from the start of this month to six months out: volumes, chapters, premieres, delays and hiatuses. Each day is a shelf, each claim a spine whose top edge says where it stands. Dashed spines are forecasts, printed as the ranges they are. Episodes of a season already airing are printed apart, as the broadcast timetable: they are on the schedule, not claims the ledger weighs.
