[[Age 34. 34 year old Jim Wagner sits in front of the TV set in a dark room.]]

Television: Iwl get ywoo wascawy wabbit!

[[Age 35. 35 year old Jim Wagner stands in front of his workbench holding a device that looks like a blue box with a dial on it and red bicycle handlebars attached to its sides. The table is scattered with tools and the room has several clocks in it.]]

Jim Wagner: There. I’ve invented time travel.

[[The flashback ends and Jim Wagner has returned to reality, still screaming with his eyes closed.]]

Jim Wagner (Thinking): Wow, I must really miss her.

Jim Wager: Yaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[[Jim Wagner opens one of his eyes.]]

Jim Wagner: Yaaa!

Jim Wager: ?

Jim Wagner: Yaa.

Jim Wagner: Ya?

The general feeling that I get is that if Jim were to, say, watch less cartoons and have a less shooty girlfriend that he may have invented time travel somewhat sooner. Through the course of these flashbacks, Thompkins and I did try to keep a sense of time with each of Jim’s ages (IE. no flat screen TVs when he was 5 years old) but I’m sure the hilarious plot holes to do with age and time will become a recurring theme (something that Jim learned about last time) as we stumble through the world of web comics.

Jim Wagner isn’t obsessed with time or anything. He just understands the importance of having at least 3 non-digital clocks in any room in which you invent time travel.
