PLOT

In the summer of 2019, two siblings, Chip and Lynn, embark on a trans-Atlantic quest to get alternative medicine to cure Lynn's strawberry head.

TRIVIA

The series was originally titled "No Flare, Just 16 Square" because each page will usually have 16 panels. The title was eventually shortened to 1659, with "59" reading as "SQ".

On the completion of the first book, CoMo decided that every book would have 39 pages. This is to honor a bus route that he used to frequently ride.

The start and end dates of making a book weren't recorded until 5: Alien Stuff. Only estimated month ranges can be given for the first four books.

The first three books originally didn't have titles. 1659:1 used to be titled "INDESCRIBABLE!!!", but eventually was renamed to its current title after a meme that came from AI Sponge, a livestream that used to air SpongeBob characters performing AI generated scripts.

The covers of the first three books were remade by CoJu in January 2024, but they have not been used.
