− | :Coolest? Not the ''cool''est, but a good word by some other measure, certainly. I might as well insist that... thingummy... oh... whatsit... ah, yes, that's it... "Lethology" is as cool. [[Special:Contributions/178.98.255.57|178.98.255.57]] 00:51, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

− | I think the "C0 Block" text may also be a skywriting double meaning, as skywriters use something called "Corvus Oil" to make the smoke.[[Special:Contributions/24.234.164.78|24.234.164.78]] 18:27, 8 May 2013 (UTC) Dustin

− | Saying that the C0 block ‘is there’ makes me think that the skywriter already wrote it; perhaps they hired the skywriter to write out all of Unicode in order‽ The interrobang ''is'' followed by a diacritic (overline), but unfortunately it's ''not'' combining. (The combining overline comes later.) —[[User:TobyBartels|TobyBartels]] ([[User talk:TobyBartels|talk]]) 20:02, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

− | I think that they were intentionally trying to trick the skywriter into doing the patterns bad. After all, why would someone actually need diacritics on an interrobang. --[[User:Purah126|Purah126]] ([[User talk:Purah126|talk]]) 01:57, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

− | "Skytyping" uses five or more planes flying in formation to skywrite in a dot-matrix format. It is computer controlled, so it really could have codepage issues.[[Special:Contributions/68.3.11.239|68.3.11.239]] 23:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

− | Just now catching up by reading all past comics and felt compelled to make my first comment on this one! Since Randall frequently makes subtle references to past subject matter, I wonder if the "C0" in the title text could be a reference to #878 - Model Rail, where he mentions the conflict over HO vs H0 scale on Wikipedia. If you take C0 to mean CO instead, this could be a reference to Carbon Monoxide in the atmosphere, since that's where the skywriting is taking place. I was surprised that nobody had mentioned this possible interpretation yet. [[User:Ianrbibtitlht|Ianrbibtitlht]] ([[User talk:Ianrbibtitlht|talk]]) 18:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
