It'll probably be like the Simpsons, with the year changing without actually passing. I would agree with that possibility if this were a show like "Phineas and Ferb" with an open-ended, endless summer with little story arc. But this show has an arc and Al Hirsch has said it will end with the twins going home at the end of the second season. So there's no reason to do comic book time here.
