Original Commentary

So how old is Dan? Early 40s, I think. He's younger than Kimberly's parents. He hadn't been working there for that long when Kimberly was born. Sorry about the lack of detail, but both weeks of comics were written in batches and most of our stories about it have been covered in previous days - Terrence

Modern Commentary
That's the same designer bib company that ripped him off and left him with a few boxes of prototypes that - years later - were quite valuable.

I think this ties things in to too neat a bow. It weaves together things that would stand nicely on their own. It didn't need to all be related and I kind of wish I hadn't. The past informs the present throughout the comic but sometimes separate things just need to be separate things.

The main point is that Mr. Taylor has always been like that... - Terrence
