The lions, the witch, and the wardrobe...
(I confess, I had them jump into the wardrobe just so I could use this title--! They were originally going to duck into one of the secret passages in the Palace.)

While I'd like to be able to go back and change a few things--like warning several now-deceased family members to go to doctors, or stopping a friend from committing suicide--I hope they never figure out how to make time travel work, for reasons which will be brought up in the strip.
Most people aren't very responsible with one timeline. Imagine them running amok through history!

I don't think I've seen that one--my favorite of the genre is "Back to the Future," followed closely by "Back to the Future III." Recently I've watched the "Doctor Who" movie from 1996, with Paul McGann, and really enjoyed it (although I have hardly ever watched the TV series.)
One of the best novels about time travel is Ward Moore’s Bring The Jubilee. Moore’s premise was the Confederacy won the War Between The States, resulting in am entirely different world than our own. A scientist invents a method of time travel, and a historian is transported back to 1863 to witness the Rebels taking Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg. Confederate control of Little Round Top ultimately leads to the defeat of the Union Army and Lincoln’s surrender to Jeff Davis in 1865. However, without intending too, the historian changes history, the North retaining Little Round Top, the Confederacy going down in defeat, and causing our time line, the world we all live in nowadays to come into being. The historian survives in our world, dying in the 1920s, burdened with the horror and guilt that he not only destroyed his world, but his friends and family, too.
This arc took me weeks to write, rewrite, re-rewrite, then throw it all out and write the script as I was drawing each cartoon. I have tons of speculative material to try to pack into it, but it wasn't fitting together right.
So I have a sense of how it feels to dink around with time...

Time travel.
One of the most ambiguous and nonsensical sciences.
I loved how the last version of The Time Machine explained the paradox of changing history.
1: Something bad happens
2: You use a time machine to go back and stop Bad thing from happening
3: Bad thing that happened no longer happens so why would you use a time machine?
4: Because you have no reason to use the time machine, bad thing happens anyways, resulting in you wanting to use time machine to go back and stop the bad thing.
5: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

There was a short-lived TV series from the guys who created "Phineas & Ferb" called "Milo Murphy's Law." A sub-plot involved two time travelers, Dakota and Cavendish.
Dakota saved Cavendish's life by going back a few minutes in time each time Cavendish did something stupid and got himself killed, but that made two Dakotas, so the one whose timeline got replaced had to go into exile. On an island. With a hundred other Dakotas...

What's the neural buffer thing? Is it like a neuralizer from Men In Black? Is this the last we see of glasses Krueger?
Fisi is already acting like a grandma disciplining her grandsons. Feels odd to see her barefoot again rather than with boots. Is she going barefoot because she was demoted or for stealth?

Sorry for the delay in replying--I must've somehow missed this query.
The neural bufferer records past memories and aids in the replacement with the new memories FFred is receiving as Present Fred lives his life. It stabilizes his perception of reality, otherwise he could go insane from having two sets of overlapping memories (think Alzheimer's.)
I don't recall Fisi ever wearing boots--that was Penthesilia, Kathy's other grandmother, and she wears boots because she's missing both legs from the knees down.
Boots are a symbol of higher status among the Brigade. Fisi, as an assassin, has no use for boots.
