1100 : Time Travel is Confusing Sometimes
Aug09
As an apology for messing up the comic number (at first), I’ve discovered and activated a new feature! You can now click the comic image to bring up a version with double the resolution.

This is why I never bother to listen to explanations involving time travel, as they always end up giving me a headache…. ^^;;;
As Miles O’Brien says, “I hate temporal mechanics!”
Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey
Um, Robert? Shouldn’t this be 1100 and not 1200? You carried a 1 you shouldn’t have.
It is just a jump in time to the comic 100 issues later. The 100 issues between were lost in the time storm.
Ohhhh crap. That filler right at 1099 must have messed up CD’s internal comic counter. He names the files, and I base the post titles off the filenames.
Unfortunately, I’d have to delete this post to change the url… I guess that’s not a big enough deal, though.
Hey, at least it’s less confusing than the Terminator timelines.
Try figuring out who is where/when in Robert Heinlein’s universe where characters travel forward, backward, and SIDEWAYS in time, to dimensions where you spend years there, but return to the moment you left this one.
The man who chased the Terminator, into their past, was the father of Connor’s son. So if they had just stayed in the future skynet would have won, instead of creating the very person, they to want to kill.
Classic time-travel twist. ALA The Twilight Zone.
Timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly; temporal mechanics make caveman head hurt.
Honey looks like a young adult, so let’s stick with that. :p
Not only looks – her actual biological age matches that. Chronological age is irrelevant.
Is it possible that the machine has been ‘mining’ alternate timelines, rather than raiding the actual future, which exists in a state of uncertainty until it becomes the present and the past?
The last time CD explained this in the comic, he made it clear that Trav’s explanation is correct. Honey and Brady are both the same person, from what would have been the future of Bay’s world had they not been pulled back to their subjective pasts, which changed the “present” such that neither of them will be born in the current timeline.
Bleah. Time travel makes my head hurt….
Based on the timeline under the Q&A section, Honey is from a completely different timeline then Brady, which still leaves questions but sure why not
I’m still confused about Teri/Ams, Bay only got Teri because Brady wanted a pet, but in any timeline where Brady/Honey was actually born, the several years gap would make it almost impossible for Honey to have Ams as a pet, because even if she got a cat, it would have to have been years later, so it wouldn’t be the same cat
There’s no reason that Ams couldn’t be the same cat as Teri. Teri is a kitten, and Ams is his adult form. Cats live more than long enough for 18-year-old Honey to have had Ams since she was 6.
I just find it very hard to believe that Ams wasn’t already adopted by someone else during that 6-7 years
I work with animal rescue groups, if an animal isn’t adopted within a YEAR, then odds are they won’t be adopted at all
But Ams/Teri is a talking cat. I imagine there might be different rules in effect for animals capable of demonstrably proving they are both sentient and sapient.
I think you’re confused by the time travel shenanigans. There was no wait time for Ams to be adopted. Both Brady and Honey received Teri as a kitten, and then in Honey’s timeline, Teri grew up into Ams.
But Brady got Teri at a point before she was supposed to be born, unless you are saying that in Honey’s timeline, Bay decided to get a cat for herself, and not for a future timeline daughter.
Unless…
…
Maybe in Honey’s future, a future daughter DID show up, but in this case there was no interaction between Alt!Brady and HoneyFuture!Bay within the range of the time portal, so the child in HoneyFuture!Bay’s womb never ceased to exist, allowing Honey to actually be born and grow up
This would answer my Teri/Ams question, but would in turn raise dozens more
Ref Teri/Ams connection…
Honey & Ams Pre-time travel though the portal.

Honey & Ams POST-time travel though the portal.

Technically neither of them is any years old since they both traveled back to before Bay was pregnant 😛
No, they traveled back to AFTER Bay was pregnant, but because of a faulty time machine, Brady and unborn Brady couldn’t exist at the same time, so the presence of Brady overrode unborn Brady out of existence
They should not be drinking coffee while having a discussion like this. It totally calls for BEER.
No time for that now–Crystal and Ethan are knocking at the door.
