What do you get when you multiply six times nine?
Something fundamentally wrong with this comic, perhaps.
Okay, so this started as the answer to a calendar puzzle (which, as of this writing, has not been posted. The original didn't have Mark in it. But since it did have 42, it made sense to add him to my comic. It would've made less sense for the calendar solving folks as they're less familiar with my characters and what they usually wear.
Since it wasn't posted, I didn't want this to go to waste. Unfortunately, I realize that everything hinges on an arbitrary puzzle, but I didn't want to rewrite all the dialogue to add extra jokes. Such is life. At least we now know that Mark and Brigid have something in common... assuming Mark knows the significance of the number 42, that is.
UPDATE: The comic literally posted as I was preparing this blog entry. The calendar caretaker had been traveling and hadn't seen my email. It appears here: https://twitter.com/Daily_Epsilon/status/1647697967791640577.
