In today’s strip, Dora tells Penelope that she’s the best assistant manager she’s ever had, and Penelope says she’s the _only_ assistant manager she’s ever had. Not true! Faye was the first! ---

> [@squeegee](#): > > [Holy Pintsize, we’re still in Cube Town six months later.](https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5007) Seven months later, Marten and Claire are finally heading back to Northampton. Any idea how long their trip was in-universe? At least one night, I know. ---

I’m thinking two nights. There was the night the characters in cubetown woke up hungover and I’m pretty sure it was a different night that Ayo stayed over at her sister’s apartment before her first day at the job at the coffee shop. ---

All I know is that we are still within three weeks until the wedding of Dora and Tai. They said three weeks just before the start of the Cubetown storyline. ---

Which started more than a year ago! Slightly different questions: what happened to the snake tattoo that Tai used to have on her upper arm above her star? Is there an explanation for how Corpse Witch got her moniker? It looks like everyone just started calling her that. Were these covered in some of the Patreon-only strips? ---

I mean, in-comic there was a “her name is _Corpse Witch!???_” WTF moment, but yes, never explained. ---

Guess that was before Jeph decided to add a fig life to real-life Northampton institutions. ---

So, recently, Yay got caught snooping around on the Director’s network, freaked out, and noped out of there. And we had a time skip, and Dora and Tai got married.
