Title: Marten/Dora timeline
Post by: KateCorrigan on 19 Nov 2010, 11:42
Well, I say timeline but really mean: how long did their relationship last, in-universe? Guesstimation 3-6 months but that could be way off.

(P.S. First post to forums because if I had an account before, I forgot it completely)

I think it lasted closer to a year. Six months at least because I see both Dora and Martin at least waiting that long before moving in together. I think a year and a couple months is the most likely.

I get the feeling that they moved in together at the year mark.

Actually, I think it was just over two years strip-time. Some have suggested that 1-1400 was about a year and a half.

What formula are you guys using to come up with these numbers? :?

Well I did mention that it was cold out for marten and dora when they first smooched.  It seems like it was late winter early spring as after that people where wearing summer gear and then winter past along with the faye sven situation.  Being that it was brisk out for the hanners/sven date I would say its been at least a year.

There's been some attempts at doing this on the Wiki started by Is It Cold In Here?; I think Jeph stated at one point that the first 1400 strips were about a year or so.

EDIT: I found the reference: he (Jeph) has said that there have been at least six months that have passed in the strip, but not more than 10 years. Take that for what it's worth.

Modesty and desire for accuracy compel me to post that I didn't start the wiki.

I discovered that. You, however, made it known to us weirdos crazies fans of the strip.
