If you don't mind my asking, why is that consistency important? Does it tie into the narrative in some way?
My Games and Asset PacksIt does tie into the narrative in some way, and In-Universe some dates will become important (as well as the character's birthday mentioned).
There are some references to make it a Period Piece from the year stated, 1998, and I'm doing research into that year for it, to try and fit within the Alternate History (which isn't a major world event level Alternate History, think more Local Angle for this, basically, it's Alternate History at a local level).

But how does the use of set in-universe dates require a specific relationship with the release-schedule of the comic? Are readers expected to infer information from that schedule—like "it's been two weeks since the last page, and one week our time is one day their time, so it's been two days"?

This isn't going to be lampshaded In-Universe, it's just a case of checking my research is correct.
I've started writing my story focusing on four characters (like a Five-Man Band) and the characters do age - so no Comic-Book Time. Indeed, ageing is a plot point, due to a character getting a sugar high from an overly-sugary birthday cake!
I saw this on WebcomicTime.Webcomics for Webcomic.El Goonish Shive:
My story's set (for now) in mid-1998 (around July/August), and one chapter is equivalent to a week In-Universe (well, one week in those months, had to use ncal on the Mac OS X terminal).
I'm using Numi
, a Mac OS X calculator, for working out the ratios; it's been a useful tool for my math, anyway.
I'm trying to work out what the ratio is as I'm wanting to ensure some sort of consistency for the Web Comic Time.
I'd appreciate any advice on this.
