Could the 'Woman' be Megan? 173.245.54.190 16:20, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Maybe David Troupes wants to make the woman be Megan but can't because he doesn't know how to draw the typical Megan hair we use to identify her. 103.22.200.215 02:25, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Or she could just be a generic person. It seems like a better idea to presume that a character is a generic unless specifically indicated. -Pennpenn 108.162.249.205 02:21, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
- Any woman in xkcd with long black hair is Megan by definition. Megan is not the same person from comic to comic but the generic every woman to Cueballs everyman. Read on the pages for Megan and Cueball. As well as on Multiple Cueballs (see the categories) --Kynde (talk) 09:06, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
If someone threw a moon rock at me, I would pay them. HisHighestMinion (talk) 22:38, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
In Megan's first speech the "I ..." surely stands for "I'm over the Moon ." Sorry. Winter06 (talk)
"Megan is perfectly happy sitting on the moon (which is impossible)" What exact part of it is impossible? Moon has a proper gravitational field and it's solid. Heck, people even walked on it! As for "happily" part, I would be perfectly happy to sit on the moon (for somewhat longer if provided with space suit, but happy in any case). 141.101.104.48 19:20, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
