<div>He had a chance to refer to Usher the musician instead. Oh well. I still laughed. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.64|108.162.237.64]] 21:24, 29 January 2014 (UTC)<br />

There is a computer monitor, desk, bookshelf, fireplace, and many other things drawn in great detail. But the characters are still stick figures. And they are shaded! [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.64|108.162.237.64]] 21:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)<br />

At [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.64|108.162.237.64]]: I think he *was* referring to Usher the musicican; he was making a homonymic joke, by mixing the two Ushers (one by name, the other by genre). {{unsigned ip|141.101.81.216}}<br />

I think there's a reference to the webcomic A softer world, which had the same style for the panels and the text boxes. Sorry for my bad English --[[Special:Contributions/94.32.32.168|94.32.32.168]] 15:57, 23 July 2025 (UTC)</div>94.32.32.168
