To understand this comic you have to do some back-and-forth reading. [[Cueball]], in the last panel, is telling [[Megan]] in the first panel to come explore the future with him. Since the panels appear in chronological order, he is literally in the future. [[Megan]] replies that she can't, since she is not drawn in the last panel, a.k.a. the future. She is stuck, and it may be implied that she had passed away before the future came.
  
[[Cueball]] is in the last panel (the future) but somehow manages to get his message into the first panel (the past). [[Megan]] answers in the first panel, but somehow her message gets to Cueball in the last panel.
+
Cueball is sad about the past, shown in the title text, because Megan had a relationship with [[Hairy]] and not himself.
 
 
This comic can be interpreted in several ways. First, it is not clear if Cueball's question is intended for Megan alone, for Hairy alone, for both Megan and [[Hairy]], or at the past world in general. If the question is intended for several people, the comic is just about how one could sometimes desire to know the future without waiting for it; however, time flows at its usual rate, and there's no way around this.
 
 
 
If the question is intended only for Megan, it likely means Cueball is asking Megan to become his girlfriend. She answers she can't, maybe because, as before, time runs at its usual rate and she can't go faster; or maybe because she's already with Hairy (they're shown holding hands), and she's not leaving Hairy for Cueball.
 
 
 
Finally, the Cueball in the future could just be the very same person as the Hairy in the past, having become bald as he gets older. In this scenario, Cueball is just missing Megan, who was with him in the past but no longer is, maybe even because she has died in between.
 
 
 
In the title text, Cueball seems to be considering going back to the past, but he rejects doing so because, having seen the future, now the past doesn't look attractive.
