Passage of time in QC...

But in 2778 Dora says she hasn't told Tai, and if she's still keeping it a secret three days later, their conversation in 2784 could just be about Faye's fears that they discussed in 2782 (edit: and now I really think it is). Maybe it's best to regard 2780 as an epilogue to the most current events, as well as a beat/intermission before a brief 2-3 day time skip. There's still the work schedule/academic schedule issue, but otherwise everything else could check out?
Edit: Plus, that gives Faye a few more days to worry about Angus leaving, which might contribute to her going back to the bottle after the breakup.
Edit edit: Plus, the full-page artwork in 2781 feels like the start of a new chapter, so the three-days-later business might work out. Take heart!
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
I would think that a university library would open a few days to a week before classes actually start. Students move in during that period.
BenRG:
You really have two likely fixed points: Marten asking Claire to be his GF on what is likely a public holiday (a Monday), and the day after Faye returns ffrom hospital is a Tuesday. Any missing days need to go there somewhere.
IMHO, the place to put the gap is between 2842 and 2849. Hannelore and Juicy has no real chronological link with the other strips and doesn't have to be the next day or anything similar.

Not necessarily true.

Doesn't really work. Marten is still wearing his 'TEH' shirt in 2848, so he just got back from his date, and Hannelore apparently dropped in on her way back to her apartment after throwing out her clothes and passing Juicy on the stairs. 2849 is the morning after, with Clinton and Claire wearing the clothes they meet Marten in in 2851.
Anyway, I'm pretty convinced now of the time jump between 2779 and 2781.
