Why isn't Emily now working for the Black Chamber, and why weren't her classmates put under a geas? Is this story taking place after CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN maybe?

If this strip isn't a reference to Charles Stross' Laundry file series it really should be.
For anyone who doesn't know it the Laundry Files is basically a cross between Len Deighton an HP Lovecraft. It is set in a universe where magic and math are the same thing and the wrong fractal screen saver can blow Wolverhampton off the map, zombies make great night watchmen, and the old one are awakening.
The hero, Bob Howard, is a systems administrator / supernatural spy working in a British bureaucratic spy agencies.
“Saving the world is Bob Howard’s job. There are a surprising number of meetings involved.”
"The name is Howard. Bob Howard. Please don't hurt me..."
edit: I see zmeiat_joro got it too.

Those 'palate cleanser' comics were fascinating in their own way. I think that was Jeph trying to develop another, completely separate continuity but still published under the 'Questionable Content' name so he could take a breather from the main characters and plot. Tim Buckley on Ctrl+Alt+Del has tried the same thing with varying levels of success.

Wasn't SMIF a women's only college? Why are there males in the classroom?
