Original Commentary

Yes, we skipped forward a month. While the missing month would be great material for a bonus book, it contains a lot of subtle variations on a theme. And a month's worth of subtle variations on a theme would be a bad idea for the pacing of the comic right now. That and if they went on dates, it'd be too easy to put them on wacky dates, and that'd be venturing a bit too far into sitcom territory.

When I was lettering this, I was thinking of changing Sofia's line in the second panel to "what if she's not comfortable with a man who's assertive", but that implied "a man" more than it implied Brisbane - Terrence

Modern Commentary
We skipped forward a month because folks were clamoring for Brisbane and Kimberly to get back together.

As much as we'd like a month of cautious dating and getting comfortable with each other again, that could have taken a year's worth of comics. And, well,folks were clamoring. - Terrence
