 The character is never actually referred to as Cueball in [[xkcd]]. The name was developed by early contributions to [[explain xkcd]], and has stuck. It refers to the visual similarity of Cueball's head to a {{w|billiard ball}}. In some strips a cueball character named [[Rob]] appears.
 We do know for sure that his name is [[989|not Terry]]. (Check the transcript.)

 Unlike other [[xkcd]] characters, Cueball doesn't necessarily represent the same character from comic to comic, and is not necessarily a unique character in any given strip. Instead, he represents a generic {{w|everyman}}. In several comics ([[1089: Internal Monologue]], for example) there are multiple such stick figures, any of whom could be called Cueball.
-Early [[xkcd]] comics featured Cueball-style characters who occasionally included facial features, since [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] hadn't standardized his character design early in the comic's run.
