Don't remove this notice too soon.}}<br /> This comic depicts [[Ponytail]] and [[Beret Guy]] fishing in the middle of a body of water. Beret Guy has hooked a rock, which he believes to be a fish, and comments that he has hooked something. He states that it must be 'at least 10^24 kilograms'. The joke here comes from the fact that Beret Guy has caught the Earth in its entirety, whose weight can be estimated at approximately 6.0x10^24 kilograms (~13.1x10^17 pounds).<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> {{incomplete transcript|Don't remove this notice too soon.}}<br /> [ [[Ponytail]] and [[Beret Guy]] are sitting on a boat in the ocean.
