So…this week we’ve got a comic about a girl who is (or might not be…) traveling in time back to the American Revolution, and getting some revolutionary sugar while she’s there.  Seems simple, but three major points complicate the issue.

First of all…is she really time traveling or is this in her head?  This one actually seems remarkably easy to me.  The best way to find out would be to go back, shoot some famous guy (on the enemy side, of course) in the head and see if the history books change.  Of course, this runs the risk of coming back to find the world ruled by Stupid Jetpack Hitler, as all us genre savvy folks know that any irresponsible time travel is likely to result in Stupid Jetpack Hitler (unless done by Dr. Who, in which case you get Stupid Jetpack MASTER), but what the hey, time travel’s not an exact science, right?

Secondly, you have to wonder what kind of dedication it takes for a writer to endure colonial Williamsburg for her art.  Seriously, all I remember of that place is the contradictory feelings of dying of thirst and needing to pee at the same time.  They need to install more bathrooms…or should I say, ye olde outhouses.

And finally, the big question: if a woman in a relationship goes back in time to before she met her current beau, and starts seeing someone else, is it cheating if the present relationship hasn’t happened yet?  And conversely, if you’re getting some in the past, and also at a point in the future where your past beau is centuries dead, are you an adulteress, or a widow?  Time travel gives you a headache, doesn’t it?  And I wonder what the odds are that she sleeps with past beau and ends up her own distant ancestor…
