<div>Well, imho the reference to the master in the mountain hideaway is clearly a reference to Kill Bill, but I am not skilled enough in English to write it myself...<br />

I don't see why dijkstra's algorithm would use less memory than A*. Any ideas? [[Special:Contributions/24.18.133.138|24.18.133.138]] 01:44, 13 July 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Dijkstra's algorithm only needs to store one distance value per node, whereas A* needs at least an additional priority queue. Sometimes A* also precalculates and stores its heuristic. --[[User:Chtz|Chtz]] ([[User talk:Chtz|talk]]) 09:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)<br />

The mountain hideaway is a staple of Kung Fu movies. Kill Bill was effectively spoofing the genre, and so is this cartoon (rather than specifically spoofing Kill Bill). [[User:Danshoham|Mountain Hikes]] ([[User talk:Danshoham|talk]]) 04:17, 9 October 2015 (UTC)<br />

Is that an ice pack he's holding in the first panel? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.210.232|108.162.210.232]] 23:42, 15 May 2016 (UTC)<br />
:That's something I was wondering too. It's either an ice pack or a towel of some kind. Why would he need an ice pack / towel? Either he's sweating because he's nervous, it's an author mistake, or something offscreen happened. But... what could have happened? --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 11:49, 13 September 2016 (UTC)<br />
:: He's holding the ice pack (or towel) because of how badly he got pwned. See the end of the last comic ("You may need to sit down").--Luke[[Special:Contributions/162.158.146.248|162.158.146.248]] 08:18, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br />

Anybody notice how her son is Bobby Roberts, or if we're going by the Exploits of a Mom comic, Robert Roberts? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.122|108.162.246.122]] 20:27, 19 October 2016 (UTC)</div>162.158.146.248
