Explanation
Megan somehow knows that Cueball is pondering whether he would be able to perform hand milking on her breasts. She gives a startlingly straightforward answer to his thoughts - and Cueball believes she must be psychic to read his thought so precise.
As Megan describes he cannot get any milk from her, since there is no lactation from her breast. In order to lactate a mammal (including humans) has to give birth before the breast begin to lactate. See for instance this section on dairy cattle.
The title text makes it plain that it is not so hard for Megan to be psychic on this milking point, as Cueball thinks about this all the time.
Transcript
- [Couple sitting opposed, Megan on couch reading book and Cueball a chair with a laptop.]
- Megan: The fact that I have breasts doesn't mean you could milk me now. I'd have to be lactating.
- [A beat passes.]
- Cueball (thinking): Oh my god. She's psychic.

Psychic and oddly aware of some mad fetishes. Davidy²²[talk] 07:04, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Am I just being pedantic when I note that there is no mention of breastfeeding in the comic? Were I to milk a cow, for example, I would not wish that action to be characterized as breastfeeding. 108.162.219.223 19:54, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Where are her legs in the third panel? 108.162.250.111 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Perhaps she got uncomfortable with the idea of Cueball's continual sexual perversion, and tucked her legs up into the armchair in an unconscious effort to feel more secure. 108.162.219.58 23:41, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
I think it is more likely that she is being witty when suggesting Queball is thinking about milking her breasts. Queball gets the witty remark considering he was thinking about her breast in a possibly sexual context and gets amazed she would know he was having that thought right this minute. --141.101.81.74 14:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
"This comic is a comment on the fascination and sheer lack of knowledge that men have about women's bodies in general, and their breasts in particular." There is no justification for this sentence at all. It puts words into Randal's mouth and nothing in the comic supports it. AmbroseChapel (talk) 00:40, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- You read my mind! seriously, you're right about that. also, maybe anybody want to discuss similarity w/ https://xkcd.com/628/ 172.68.143.84 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Technically she never says she isn't lactating, so we don't know that she cannot be milked.
Previously, the explanation said that a woman has to be pregnant in order to be able to lactate, which is not true. Some women can lactate before even their first pregnancy. I have changed the explanation to reflect this. R3TRI8UTI0N (talk) 12:36, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
