The list at the cemetery shows that Crowder was interred in the third week of October. Steve got in trouble near the same day, got demoted and wrote the advice column for ten days before starting his investigation of the suspicious lonely hearts club, which was finished within a couple of days. Thus, when they get to the cemetery, the date has to be somewhere in the first week of November. However, the list of interments at the cemetery includes seven people who were interred after mid-November.

Crowder died a couple of days after visiting the newspaper offices in which a May 1942 calendar was on the wall. However, the date Crowder was interred was shown as being in October 1942.

There is a grammatical error in the sign outside the Lonely Hearts Club. The sign reads "If You're Lonely, Your Welcome." Of course, the sign should read "If You're Lonely, You're Welcome."
