<div>How do we know that there isn't someone on the boat? They may be waiting for the boy to go to sleep before trying to escape.[[Special:Contributions/72.193.184.110|72.193.184.110]] 01:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)<br />

Actually, this is an alternate ending to the clasic early eighties adventure movie "Time Bandits", but I would not expect you to know that as "you are so mercilessly free from the ravages of intelligence".--[[User:TheTimeBandit|TheTimeBandit]] ([[User talk:TheTimeBandit|talk]]) 21:52, 27 October 2017 (UTC)<br />

Agreed: There are several scenarios, including I think a Heinlein short story, Time Bandits, and others. Or it could even be some other situation Randal{1,2} just made up. The assumption that this is a child staring down an inanimate object is a bit of a leap. It's a plurality likelyhood at best. — [[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 01:16, 24 April 2019 (UTC)<br />

the kid might be like some elder god, watch down on the boat<br />
<br />
At first glance I thought the boy runs out of time when mom calls him for dinner (or some other boyish commitment) and the boat simply runs out of time when it sinks. I don't know if that can help interpret this scene. Just to say, I LOVE these comics and all the Muoroe stuff!
