"'... Well, it just keeps on getting brighter all the time'" (Moore and Gibbons, page 5 chapter 2, third column first row).
When Laurie visits her mother, most of the conversation is dominated by time. Not only is time relative in this chapter, whether in conversations or in flashbacks, but it is also very important to the story. The most obvious connection is time to Watchmen, watches are how humans check time. Another connection is that there have been clocks, all set to the same time, scattered throughout the pictures and text. Because the Moore and Gibbons are focusing in one the relevance to time so early in their novel, readers can be assured that time will be a theme of the story.
