What is an IV instrument? It has to be explained. --Dgbrt (talk) 20:58, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

I've rewritten all the explanation, expanding it a bit, adding the title text part and the IV explanation. So I've also removed the incomplete tag. Hope it can be now considered "complete". 173.245.53.117 02:49, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

I can't believe no one has mentioned the INT, CON and CHR stats on the monitor -- CardaStcol (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Maybe the Cueball on the bed is Megan after chemo (and associated hair loss )?

What I thought to - Donthaveusername (talk) 17:12, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

In related comics there is usually a Megan and Cueball character. Some whould say the personality is a little off to be Megan and fits Cueball better. 162.158.255.117 18:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Why INT/CON/CHR is listed as a reference to ACKS in particular, rather than to much more venerable D&D it is based on? D&D has the same attributes, except Charisma is abbreviated as CHA, not as CHR. Is it CHR in ACKS? 162.158.93.27 15:10, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Was anyone else staring at the art, going "That IV line should not be on the floor!" in your head? Nitpicking (talk) 01:11, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Surely this is a comic about Randall's then-girlfriend (now wife) and her cancer diagnosis and treatment? That's what I've always presumed. 172.71.178.176 01:43, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Influenced by it, sure. Cueball is generally not used to represent Randall's actual wife. Nitpicking (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
