But it's the middle of summer!

Ssh! If the northern hemisphere people figure out how awesome summer Christmas and new years is we'll never get rid of them.

The fact that the other hemisphere exists did cross my mind, but I decided to ignore it because clarifying would have reduced the quippy nature of the comment.

The comic is also saying that the entire world lives by the Gregorian calendar but that isn't true as well.

It's all good, you're still technically correct. The Gregorian calendar is based off of Europeans, so it would still be originated from their winter solstice.
