 Title text: For the moment it's a standoff |
[edit] Explanation
The comic roughly parodies a situation in which two characters are seeing who can wait longer to get the result they want. However in the comic, the model sailing ship is not alive and doesn't experience time (except perhaps if it absorbs water and falls apart). The comic compares the patience of a boy with that of an inanimate object. Also, it could imply that the boy has too much time on his hands.
[edit] Transcript
- [A boy is glaring at a model sailing ship floating in a bowl of water.]
- Boy: Sooner or later, my friend, one of us will run out of time.
[edit] Trivia
- Original Randall quote: "This is not the barrel boy. Current Mood: Final Exam-y"
- This is the forty-first comic originally posted to livejournal. The previous was 43: Red Spiders 2. The next was 45: Schrodinger

How do we know that there isn't someone on the boat? They may be waiting for the boy to go to sleep before trying to escape.72.193.184.110 01:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
