Yep, I had that coming.
Math and science pick up lines are way better than music ones. "I'm a fermata, hold me" is just weak.

Tempting. Very tempting.
JReynolds:
In the "Department of Perhaps Reading Too Much Into Background Decorations",
Jeph has given us a clue as to when "now" is in the QC-verse. In today's comic (1025), the calendar on the wall shows that we are in a month with 30 days that starts on a Tuesday. From January of 2003 to December 2007, the months that fit these parameters are:
April 2003
June 2004
November 2005
Judging from comics 1005 and 1008 (where Dora and Faye were shown wearing light windbreakers), it could be either April or a warm November
Of course, the joke could be on us. On Dark Blue Rabbit's excellent list, there could be a space between 1024 and 1025. At the moment, we don't know how much time has passed between 1024 and 1025. Is it the same day? Have weeks / months gone by? Is Jeph flashbacking us? Is "now" in the QC-verse not in the 2003-2007 range?
Thought I'd pass my detective work on and let you guys judge.

:laugh: Good one!
I'd like to know the timing too, but the loophole is: it can always be longer than we figure.
We can deduce the minimum time there needs to be between specific consecutive comics, from clues and dialog, etc, [not withstanding parallel story arcs that can be happening simultaneously] but all too often there could be more hours and/or days in these gaps, and there's no way to account for them. Unless Jeph gave us clocks, calendars, etc ....and it mattered.
JReynolds:
You're absolutely right! Knowing exactly when things are happening and the duration between days isn't important. The fact that this comic is enjoyable IS important. Thanks, Jeph! Keep up the good work.
