Passage of time in QC...
Gladstone:
Is this part of the attempt to find those missing days, or just fleshing out the earlier timeline? If the former, that's going pretty far back. I still think the gap is between 2779 and '80.
I might fire off a polite, non-accusatory email to Jeph later, just to satisfy my own curiosity...
AprilArcus:
Yeah, unrelated to current events; just trying to put a ribbon on "Season 1".
I would be really surprised if Jeph responded to such an email.
In other news, I've decided the wall calendar from 894 trumps Jeph's tweet as the best anchor to "real time" that we have, so the next version will map comic dates to the November '03 - September '05 period. Smith's summer break was a week longer in 2005 than 2006, but nothing else really changes.
AprilArcus:
Something that was bothering me was that I wasn't sure how long Dora actually lived with Marten and Faye. I hoped that I could find a way to push her move-in back to late February, so that there could be a month of off-panel time, but I misread 1601 as an in-continuity strip and missed that 1592-1610 covers a single day. This means that they all lived together for two weeks exactly — there isn't any other way to line it up and satisfy Espressosaurus II's six-week build schedule (1645) and Marten's "It's been WEEKS" (1861), which together constrain late March/early April very tightly. I think this is ultimately defensible, considering Steve's observation (1918) that moving in together was a fiasco that precipitated Marten and Dora's breakup.
Unrelated, but god do I love the art in the 1500s - look at the facial expressions in 1563!
AprilArcus:
Version 1.0! Now covering strips 1-2909. Comment and critique welcomed.

So it's about two months from Tai asking Dora out to our current fiasco... Dora doesn't do things slow, does she? :psyduck:
