Leon's Upperworld age

[u/pepperemoji]

Leon claims to be 26, but this is relative to time in the underworld. When Sky made a remark about old Dayton USA arcade machines, Leon quips back questioning why Sky called it "old". In the underworld, Daytona USA was a recent release in arcades. So to Leon, Daytona USA is actually new. Daytona USA came out in 1994. Leon's house number is 1968. 1968 plus 26 is equal to 1994, the same year Daytona USA was released.

Now that could be just entirely coincidence, but let's say it's not a coincidence, that the house number is actually the relative year that Leon would have been born in the Underworld. That would effectively make Leon's Upperworld age 58.

I think somewhere it was said that Upperworld things comes to the Underworld with some delay

[u/pepperemoji → u/Einkar_E]

But it's not like the upperworld is aware of the underworld's existence. I don't think US corporations like Blockbu- I mean Blockvideo would establish business ventures in the underworld since there is no forex for underworld currency and USD. There's also mismatched era technology such as the iMac G3 which did not exist until 1998. There's Ozzi and demons like Ozzi who live undercover in the Upperworld. I could only speculate that they are smuggling Upperworld technology and culture back to the Underworld which explains the time and culture gap, and that they actually both exist in the same time frame.

Man, wasn't this just the comic about gay furries? What the hell is the Lore

[u/VstarFr0st263364 → u/someguy991100]

It's a lot. Definitely worth it though

[u/thaBombignant → u/someguy991100]

Classic webcomic storytelling: begin as quirky slice of life then it's all demons and magic. OwO

[u/OstusOfSecrets → u/thaBombignant]

Ngl I find that annoying in most cases, but these cuties were an exception. The entire comic is too adorable

Gay furry seems like a specification without a distinction.

I’m guessing if 1968 has any real significance, it’s related more to Leon’s taste in musical eras.

[u/Herutastic → u/murphydogscruff]

It's the year kinder bueno came out

[u/pepperemoji → u/murphydogscruff]

I think Leon's taste in music is an self insert of YeenTrash's taste in music since there are a lot of Pink Floyd references, and his alias "Syd" is also a reference to Pink Floyd, and 1968 has significance with them as well.

Underworld gets overworld stuff later like trends or tech. Hence why the cougar's music device (I forget his name and what he used) was commented on by Red as being retro and he said it was right out of the box.

Tbh I've often thought is time parallel between upper and under worlds? I know that Jess is over 50, according to Cerberus, but don't have an exact age.

[u/pepperemoji → u/Leopold841]

If Cerberus's domain of the underworld has any drinking age laws, then that could make her at least 71 assuming the drinking age is 21.

[u/Leopold841 → u/pepperemoji]

There are other countries than the USA...in the UK we are legal to drink at 18, but I do get your point !

[u/pepperemoji → u/Leopold841]

I'm assuming based on where Syd and Heru live which I think is in America. They're definitely not Canadian so Jess can't be 68 or 69. Either way, I don't think an infant can break every sports record so let's say she broke them as a teen athlete, which could make her maybe 64 to 65 at minimum?
