Jackie

Here, Fraction displays something that will characterize the rest of the Casanova series: brief, seemingly throwaway citations that at once propel the plot and pay homage to those he admires. The phrase "break in the continuum" comes from the New Pornographers song "Jackie" from their 2000 album Mass Romantic. The quotation is a definitive plot point, as well as an appreciative nod at A.C. Newman and co.
More importantly, this citation provides us with more transparency than we are typically offered by authors as Fraction admits to being influenced during the writing process. In the back pages of Casanova Issue 1 he thanks The New Pornographers, as he maintains he listened to them extensively while writing the comic. Thus, the typically obfuscated line between writing process and written work becomes more apparent and less rigid.
