How did the QC universe get so different from ours?

--- Quote from: Doug S. Machina on 17 Mar 2008, 15:55 ---As for a dome over the city, this could maintain a pleasant enviroment while also enforcing the city's stringent entry laws that forbid anyone too old or not pretty enough to enter. Jimbo is the exception, a master smuggler who knows the secret ways into the city and runs an underground economy of restricted goods. Alas, this entertaining rubbish idea has been holed below the waterline by the naked old ladies in #1000 and the Biachi parents.

--- End quote ---

It would explain why Jimbo spends all his time in the bar.

I like to think that it's an alternate universe that Jeph catches glimpses of and that one day I’ll be lucky enough to slip through a crack in space time and find myself standing outside Coffee of Terror.  Realizing that there's been a horrible mistake I will jump through the rapidly closing fissure only to be flung head first out of Marten and Faye's refrigerator, much to the delight of Pintsize and Winslow.

Doug S. Machina:
Came through the fissure and saw..."Coffee of Mild Peril? Man, that's lame." On to the next world.

"Alternate universe" seems the most likely, but I though we were here for Wild Mass Guessing, not reasonable debate! Marten is Dora, from a parallel universe! Ugh, sqick.

Is it cold in here?:
Interesting point about law enforcement. Maybe QC is a more libertarian world, where people expect to take care of their own problems with anti-robbery broadswords or alleyway beatings as happened to the Vespavenger (and come to think of it, what kind of world is it where someone like that can have a web site?).

Surgoshan:
Actually, it's a lot like ours.

Is it cold in here?:
If Marten is Dora from a parallel universe, that explains why they look alike. Also why they want to make out: http://xkcd.com/105/
