Arrow

Title text: 'The Return of the Boomerang' would make a great movie title.

Explanation

The comic appears to be a reference to 475: Further Boomerang Difficulties, which had a man throwing a boomerang that never returned. Cueball shoots an arrow off with a bow, and then a boomerang returns to him, bamboozling him.

The title text is a pun on how boomerangs always come back, along with how "The Return of X" is often used for movie names.

Trivia

• Part of this comic and 475: Further Boomerang Difficulties is the picture for the Brick Joke page on TV Tropes.

Transcript

Discussion

So there's a machine that dispenses boomerangs when you shoot it. Cool. Davidy²²[talk] 09:08, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
