Day by day list of how much time has passed in QC
bunnyThor:
Now is this list of days set in stone? By that I mean are there references that demand that one day follows the next? I know that some things must be sequential days, e.g., the sequence where Marten goes from The Talk to hooking up with Dora has to be three sequential days, because Faye yells at Dora about it, but are there other story arcs where there isn't specific references to day following day?
I just find it hard to believe that Marten didn't know Faye or Dora or Hanners less than 2 months ago, comic time. :|
Surgoshan:
It's pretty much set in stone. A single day is easily determined based on clothes. Sequential days are based either on clothes (slept in last night, then change, whether on or off camera), on references in comic (to "yesterday"), or on plot necessity (like Faye and Marten the morning after The Talk).
The gaps indicate where clothes were changed and there's no indication of how much time has passed.
Border Reiver:
There is a strip in which Dora referred to the couple of months that Faye had been sleeping on Marten's couch.
bunnyThor:
That could just be hyperbole too.
Really the gaps at 350/351 and 750/751 could both be extended out for a month or two each.
The first gap would seem to be constrained by Faye decision to start acting nicer, but we all know how long a person can sit on their good intentions before acting.
The second gap seems to be constrained by Pen-Pen still being referred to as the New Girl, but that sort of employee hazing can go on for months as well. I worked at a place where "The New Guy" was still called "The New Guy" even after working there a year *and* with newer people being hired. It was always so much fun to hear him moan with despair every time we called him that, that there was no way we were ever going to stop. :laugh:
So if you really wanted to, you could stick a couple months of "nothing exciting happened" in each of those gaps, and QC time would be a much more believable 6 months rather than the credulity-bending 50+ days it otherwise seems to be.
