How long is a year?

The headline is set on an empty chart, then the pencil traces one bar per planet: Mercury's 88 days, Venus, Earth circled as "ours", Mars. Jupiter breaks the axis, which rescales with ratchet clicks, Saturn and Uranus push it again, and Neptune's dark bar closes on a red note: 59,800 days, about 164 of our years.
