One more solid clue: the caricature of Dipper that Mabel shows in "Mabel's Guide to Art," which inspired her "caticatures." It is dated by the artist, Andy G., as being done in "'12". The hat in the picture is Dipper's Pine tree hat, which he got at the end of "Tourist Trapped." If an artist drew this hat on his Dipper picture in 2012, the series must take place in 2012, not 2013.
