This comic is another in a series of comics related to the ongoing pandemic of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, specifically regarding the Covid-19 vaccine.
Hooray, Cueball and Megan are finally fully vaccinated! This means that they are now able to socialize within society, as they are unafraid of being infected by COVID or spreading COVID to others.
However, the punchline lies in the fact that Cueball and Megan have never been good with social interactions, and are still unsure of how to do this.
The title text continues with this theme, as Cueball (or Megan?) is good at building mathematical models to know when it is safe to attend parties (and other large gatherings), but the issue remains that they are not commonly invited to these events, or are socially awkward when attending them.
