Alright, so a little history

The Liberty Bell was ordered by Americans on the 50 anniversary of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Priviledge (a pretty forward thinking document) from the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London

When the bell arrived, it cracked when it was first struck. But Pass and Stow, Philadelphian foundry workers were able to melt it down and recast it, thus fixing the crack.
(Whitechapel did send in another bell, but that's a different story and not entirely relevant)

Anyways, so the Liberty Bell got another crack on Washington's Birthday in 1846. That's 20 years before America's centennial birthday. So I dunno what America is talking about him telling England 20 years before the bicentennial, when it should be 20 years before the centennial.

But I digress...

Anyways, and now have some interesting wiki facts. Since the first bell the Whitechapel Bell Foundry gave was a dud...

"During the Bicentennial, members of the Procrastinator's Club of America jokingly picketed the Whitechapel Bell Foundry with signs "We got a lemon" and "What about the warranty?" The foundry told the protesters that it would be glad to replace the bell—so long as it was returned in the original packaging.[9] In 1958, the foundry (then trading under the name Mears and Stainbank Foundry) had offered to recast the bell, and was told by the Park Service that neither it nor the public wanted the crack removed.[68] The foundry was called upon, in 1976, to cast a full-size replica of the Liberty Bell, which was presented to the United States by the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II,[72] and which is now housed in the tower once intended for the Liberty Bell, by the former visitors center on South Third Street.[73]"

Awesome, thanks for filling in the facts so everyone can be on the same page! :D

And by the way, with those wiki facts, you answered your own question. This comic concludes in 1976, and the foundry had offered to recast in 1958, which is basically 20 years earlier. ;) So the timeframe is alright.
