Talk about bare bones! --Quicksilver (talk) 15:22, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Am I the only one who sees a 3 in the grey/poka-dot area? Implying that there is some third person involved in the relationship? That view is supported by the title text, I think. FlyingSandals (talk) 03:07, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Nice find, dunno if Randall had this in his mind, but it could mean a future third person. The white (probably snowy) hill should also be explained. I did add the incomplete tag for future investigations. The sky isn't really a sky because the pink dots don't look like stars.--Dgbrt (talk) 20:00, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Sad they are no more than that... for a second I thought they might be in a relationship ship... BFFs... lovers... but just people who found each other... a bit dry.--TheTimeBandit (talk) 21:30, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Are we sure it's a maze? I also question "sky" and "snowy hill", and I'm pretty sure it's not a 3 — Kazvorpal (talk) 16:15, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I changed the explanation (you may disagree with my words); I won't change the transcript until I'm sure it's not the original xkcd-official transcript (back when that was a regular thing, but I need to check on that). I get the impression that some of the 'pink dots' are passing close to being heart-shaped (but could just be the way Randall loops things, in rapidly sketching), floating in the atmospheric gaps in the alien "white landscape" that can be stood on and obviously also restricts a search/random-wander to make it unlikely (but possible) to find a 'someone else' as these two have. 172.71.242.209 18:49, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
