− | This comic | + | This comic is a reference to the use of asterisks and other symbols for footnotes or endnotes. It is a humorous way of indicating that when an asterisk appears in a piece of text without a corresponding footnote, it is pointing to this comic. This offers closure for missing footnotes (similarly to [[391: Anti-Mindvirus]]), perhaps to make up for the unmatched parenthesis [[Randall]] willingly set loose onto the world eleven years ago in [[859: (]]. |
− | The title text | + | The title text reveals that unmatched instances of † (a dagger; a symbol for a secondary footnote) are threats being made by the author to the reader with a physical dagger. As of this writing, it says "If you ever see the † dagger symbol with no '''''un'''''matched footnote....", forming a double negative. That is probably a typo. |
