This is an attempt to organize the events of the strip into a day-by-day timeline. Obviously, it is a work in progress.
The main evidence used is when events occur in sequence along with references by characters to when past events occurred. The clothing worn by characters can also be used to identify events which are occurring within a single day.
Several time intervals are highlighted: Spring Semester, Summer, Fall.
This timeline does not include guest strips.
1–999
0s
1–8 Day 1: Friday evening, Marten meets Faye at a bar.
9–21 Day 2: Saturday. Marten buys coffee in the morning, hangs out at home in the afternoon, and goes to dinner with Faye in the evening. He cleans out Pintsize who has eaten cake mix when he gets home.
22–27 Day 3: Sunday. Faye moves in after her apartment burns down. It's possible that more time has passed than one day, but the justification is that 28 implies that it takes place only a couple days after Number 10: Coffeeshop Lust.
28–41 Day 4: Monday. Sara decides she isn't into Marten after all. He is sad about it. Faye and Marten hang out with Jimbo at his bar.
42–48 Day 5: Tuesday. Marten buys an iPod. Faye trolls hot topic.
In Number 48: 'Tis The Season it is mentioned that Thanksgiving is upcoming. It is in dispute whether this reference really matters for timeline purposes (it could have just been a timely joke for the 'real world' calendar)
49–55 Indeterminate time passage. Marten gets a tax refund and buys a guitar.
57–67 Indeterminate time passage. Faye makes Marten a cake. Pintsize damages himself eating the cake and gets a new chassis. Marten, Steve, Faye, and Sara go out. Faye breaks her glasses.
Possible jump between Number 62: Sshrkkt! and Number 63: Henry Rollins. The continuity is based on Marten wearing the same shirt.
This set represents the earliest point in time that Year 2 could have started.
Possible multi-day jump here. Steve meets Sara in Number 66: Booze Is Awesome and they break up in Number 94: At Least She's Not A Rothko.
68–80 Indeterminate time passage. (In favor of one day is the fact that it seems unlikely Faye would've been let to stumble around blind for more time. In favor of multiple days is that Steve meets Sara in 66 and the implication in 94 is that they were together more than two days.) Marten gets Faye a new pair of glasses. Pintsize discusses his immortality. Marten and Faye go out to dinner. They stop by the coffee shop afterwards and Faye introduces Marten to Dora.
81–99 Next day: Dora refers to meeting Marten "last night" in Number 83: Spectral Voices.
Marten visits Faye and Dora at the coffeeshop on his way to work. Marten has a conversation with Scott at work. Faye meets Marten at work. Steve comes over. Marten, Faye, and Steve play video games and have a drinking contest. Steve says he's broken up with Sara. Marten and Faye go out for pancakes.
Continuity glitch: Scott implies it's Monday in Number 86: Psychoethanologist but Faye implies it's Friday in Number 88: Fightin' Mood
100s

They finish moving and Ellen invites Nat down to join them for dinner and beers. This establishes that Nat and Amir have started dating.

Dora questions whether it was the right thing for them to get together. Faye spends time with Amanda.

Steven, Ellen, and Marten hang out at the shop, and Marten bemoans the fact that he has to return to work the following day (having gotten off work for "the rest of the week" in Number 432: School's Out For Ever).
*Because Marten gets off work "for the rest of the week" and not for a week exactly, and only six days actually pass, it can be inferred that Number 605: In Memoriam begins on a Monday.
