Theory:Timeline - Iris Wildthyme

This page lists appearances of Iris Wildthyme in the order in which she experienced them — at least, to the extent that such an idea can ever be considered meaningful. This timeline is based upon observations of the Paul Magrs universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, as a general rule, that for each book or audio their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. There are also many gaps between stories.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on The Chart of Autism and other sources that allow us to make observations. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Not Panda
While Panda officially joins Iris in AUDIO: Wildthyme at Large, he has often been seen accompanying her on previous occasions, because timelines are tangled wotsits and the past just isn't what it used to be.
