Tybalt:
sshhhhhhh let me feel like I am smart and original and cool.

est:
Also, Jeph's said in the past something to the effect of there being time passing not shown in the comic.  I mean, when there is a story arc that obviously happens on one day that is one thing, but then unless it is explicitly said in the next strip that it's the next day or a reference is made to something happening "yesterday" that was in the previous arc one could just as easily assume a week or a month has passed between those two strips.

Surgoshan:
Yeah, the best you'll be able to get is the minimum amount of time passed.

MC:
47 recorded days? Likely.... 47 literal days? Not so likely.

Faye wouldn't have opened up with her issues after even 47 days, [not to mention cutting that in more than half since she opened up in comic 500]

Marten and Dora seem pretty damn close for only [some or other] days

and 7 days is really not "awhile", it's a week, and Dora claims they haven't seen Steve in "awhile".

My conclusion? it's a comic... it's a comic.... it's a comic. Lets leave it at that  :roll:

I CAN DIVIDE BY ZERO:
Last night while Jeph was drawing the comic, he had a UStream thing goin' so anyone who was watching could see what he was doing while drawing it. At one point the conversation that we were having drifted to the topic of how much time has passed in the comic, and Jeph gave us this HIGHLY specific statement; "More than 6 months and less than 10 years".

So like many other people have posted in this thread already, chances are that large amounts of time are passing between each of the days that we see illustrated.
