Retcons are an in-universe way to explain a paradox that has occurred via time travel. Retcons mainly occur when a character has changed something in the past, either by moving an object or simply by interacting with those around them. When a paradox occurs, it has ripple effects down the relative time line, until it reaches the travellers PTP.
Out of universe, a Retcon is a section of the comic that when revisited, shows a different image or text. This effect is done using cookies on your browser. [cn] Some Retcons are miniscule, while others are noticeable immediately.
There has been one occurrence of a meta-retcon, in which the author Zack has stated that some pages were to be considered non-canon. This decision took several days to make, and was very hard for him.[1]
Internal Retcon
An internal retcon is a change in the continuity of the story that arises due to forces within the story itself, often as a result of a specific type of time travel.
What Kind of Maggot Grows in the Corpse of a Day?
The retcon is initiated on page 97 and covers page 66 to page 67.
Portal through wall
The retcon is initiated on page 681 and covers page 124.
Office Shovel Murder
The retcon is initiated on page 167 and covers page 139 to page 156.
The Castillo/Edwards swap
The retcon is initiated on page 1299 and intermittently covers page 1246 to page 1262.
External Retcon
An external retcon is a change in the story that Zach makes to prevent the story from ending. Since All Night Laundry is an interactive webcomic, there is a chance that the users create untenable situations.
B13's Death
The retcon started on page 468 the events leading to the retcon started on page 427
