How did the QC universe get so different from ours?
Doug S. Machina:
Agreed, but the superhero thing is fun, so that why I went with it. The ineffectual cops were just funny too, I think. Or it could be that they're superceded by the superheroes, and so their standards are falling.
As for the domed city, now we're just being silly. But isn't that (partly) the point of this thread?
Also, Faye was right. Hannelore is Penelope's time-travelling daughter from the future.
Deeper analysis when it occurs to me. Probably.

If that's the case, why are they still listening to would-be old indie music, then?
Doug S. Machina:
It is the domed city. They're all part of a large-scale experiment into human behaviour. New things are only introduced after the experimenters are happy with them. That's why they use old music.

And why would people be wearing 70--I mean, 30-- -year-old glasses frames?
(Seriously, kids. The ugly glasses that people were wearing back in the 1960's should be mocked and derided, not emulated!)
bicostp:
The "future prophecy" idea may not be too far off:
- There are small sentient robots just about anyone can afford running around.
- I don't think anyone's made a scooter that turns into a battle robot yet.
- Hardly anyone drives and there are few cars, possibly due to oil prices.
- Nice weather in Massachusetts? That doesn't happen nearly as much in reality as it does in the comic, so it's gotta be the global warming. I know; I live here.
- Hannelore lived on a privately owned and operated space station at some point in her life.
- "Crappy Bar Videogame" hasn't been made yet.
But since the majority of the time it feels like the present, it probably takes place in the near future.
