Hang on, This first version is a fail, Let me do a little fixing 121.54.48.38 02:10, 14 May 2013 (UTC) From now, IP address 121.54.48.38 is now called StuckInReality (this account). StuckInReality (talk) 02:16, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Damn, I forgot my password for StuckInReality. 121.54.48.38 07:39, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

As it is, the explaniation is only a description of what is happening in the panels. Try to explain the comic by considering what Randall wanted to say with it. What's the point of th comic? –St.nerol (talk) 11:32, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

You can help to explain this. All five "Choices" comics still do need an well explanation.--Dgbrt (talk) 17:42, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I smoked DMT once and this happened to me. 184.66.160.91 04:29, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Why are the parts where the circle touches the many Megan's outside red? Did anyone figure that out? Is it... blood? 172.70.200.143 17:51, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
