OK, two things- a) I misread “bronze” as “booze”, but considering the whole gist, you were right to go with “bronze”, and b) this whole strip is just great, it made me laugh out loud.
Also, I vote with Maxwell Hammer, Girl does look happier.
Nice attention to detail on the time machine falling down a couple meters to the lower sediment level of the past.
But then there is the many-magnitudes-greater displacement of the earth and solar system through space … the time machine must somehow calibrate to earth’s gravitational center.
Yes, that is how a time machine based in a ground-level automobile such as mine operates. The field generated by the presence of the two singularities seeks out the closest concentration of mass, in this case the Earth itself.

Girl looks happier than she has been in months, in the first few panels.
Girl seems depressed, lately.

Strange. Why did girl go through the trouble of making a custom time car when the subway goes into the past just fine?

What better way to title the strip “Time Machine” than to have a time machine appear right where the title should be?

See, the metro only takes you as far back as the nineties. You have to do a little more to go all the way back to the iron-Age..

Given my luck, erosion wouldn’t have happened at that location yet and I’d be 20 feet underground in solid rock. If a little luckier, in a cave.
