Didja Notice?
On page 4, the year is incorrectly given as 11,893! It is
supposed to be 1893.
In this issue, Verne wears his coon-skin cap. This is a nod
to the BTTF animated series in which Verne almost always
wore the cap.
On page 9, Doc pays a visit to Goldie Wilson Hover
Conversion Systems in 2017.
On page 11, the Holomax Theater is showing the remake of
A Match Made in Space, based on the book by George
McFly.
"Continuum Conundrum" Part 5
revealed that the original A Match Made in Space
movie has 9 sequels and a reboot by the time of 2035.
Doc has apparently read A Match Made in Space
(calling it really something special) and seen the first
movie (not great).
On page 17, Griff's gang use the slang terms nump,
kirgo, and zotter. Nump and kirgo were
slang terms used in 2015 in the novelization of
Back to the Future Part
II. Zotter is a previously unseen
term.
Also on page 17, the drug store employee mentions the
steroids estradiol, nandrolone, stanozolo (sic), and
oxandrolone. These are all real world steroids.
In 1893, Doc gives Clara a gift of the Jules Verne novel
The Lighthouse at the End of the World. He tells her it
won't be written for another twelve years! It was actually
written a few years sooner than that, but not published
until 1905.
