I think it's more a case of QC being like many comics in that it's written in the continuous present. Time does pass, but the comic always reflects what's happening in the year it's written. After all if it wasn't written like that he'd be currently writing the comic as if it were set in say 2005, since maybe a year or two has gone by in comic.
Is it cold in here?:
In the thread about whether Marten has goals, Jeph said that Marten doesn't know what his goals are. Hence the drift.

You guys, I think Marten's actually allergic to smiling and the last panel is Marten cursing that his throat is closing up (but he can somehow still talk don't question it).

Eh, a barista can't afford phone upgrades as often as a library assistant who catches members of the board in flagrante delicto and maintains, um, discretion about it.
