57: Wait For Me
| Wait For Me |
 Title text: Opening dialogue by Scott |
Explanation
In this comic, Megan is returning after a short absence of under two minutes. Cueball's reaction is as if she had been gone for years, and had formed a relationship with someone else while waiting.
His pause before admitting to the affair, as well as the claim of having a son by the affair Megan's age suggest that he is joking. It is impossible for Cueball to have a son Megan's age from an affair while he is notionally seeing Megan (unless he had the relationship with Megan, and the affair, 9 months before she was born. Certainly not within the 90 seconds Megan claims to have been gone.
