Hidden in the text there is the detail that Bennett was born in Grass Valley, CA. Perhaps we can assume that he lived on Bennett Street.

mother

Cohen (thinking): “Nevada”? Like on the sweatshirt on the guy with the Rabbit? Helluva coincidence there. Wonder if it means anything.
Eh . . . Worry about it in the mornin’.
(ZZZZZZZZ….)
So Cohen was babysat by Bennett’s mom. The slash fodder continues to mount.
So we get Bennett and Cohen meeting unknowningly as children? Sweet, I kinda like the swarmy stuff!
Alas, nothing so cute has developed yet — the flashback is just baby Bennett with his mom. It’s the connection to Nevada-san that Cohen is making (or trying to make, before passing out).
Well, you are back on the front page again. Congrats!
I’m missing the hint in the last panel…
Thanks!
The last panel is just Cohen falling asleep, without having the presence of mind to put his phone on a table or something first. Poor guy definitely needs to start drinking less.
Lorem ipsum, baby. Lorem ipsum.
uh-oh, Arthur, Li’l Stu is onto you!
… :pulls blanket over him:
Oh, and clearly that Wiki page has been vandalized: Bennett’s real birthday is May 13, 1964.
