Passage of time in QC...
Method of Madness:
So Marten and Dora lasted about a year, then? I guess that makes sense.
AprilArcus:
Some word of god on the chronology of the early strips:
Jeph: "I've never sat down and exactly tabulated, but I'd say right now [January 13, 2006] it's been no more than six months [since the strip started]."
This corresponds to strip 534, which is two days after The Talk, a day after Hanners' first appearance, and a day before Dora makes a move on Marten. If strip 1 is in November 2005, then 534 can't be before May 2006 (not that we imagined it was... from the weather in 563 it can't be later than early spring.) So yeah, rough guess: Marten and Dora probably dated from Feb/March 2005 to April 2006.
Method of Madness:
Yes, but you have sat down and exactly tabulated :roll:
Honestly, after all the work you've put in, I'd be disappointed if you let a non-comic source of information count.
AprilArcus:
Well, Jeph has better things to do.
Hey, new find! Marten is 24 years old, since he was still in college "last year" (#162 / January 2005). So he and Faye are the same age as Claire. Weird.
Method of Madness:
He could be 25, if he graduated at 22. Still weird that Marten and Faye are younger than me (I was 19 when I started reading).
