What Timeline?!

The most frustrating thing about The Norms from a reader's point of view is probably that I have never drawn the story in any kind of chronological order. While certain strips do follow on from each other, the story is generally told in scraps, with no real beginning or end to speak of.

This is probably most clear in the following two strips. I consider these to be from the "end" of the story, and yet before and after them, it is as though nothing happened.
