[edit] Explanation

This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect. If you see a way to improve it, edit it! Thanks. |
In this comic, you have to do some back-and-forth reading. Cueball, in the last panel, is telling Megan in the first panel to come explore the future with him. Since the panels appear in chronological order, he is literally in the future. Megan has to reply that she can't, since she is not drawn in the last panel, a.k.a. the future. she is stuck.
If the comic took a different turn, and they replied "sure," they all would have to be drawn in a fourth panel.
