This comic does not present a particular point, it's just a picture drawn by Randall. The sketch, when flipped vertically, maintains the appearance of having the sea on the bottom and sky on top, although the setting sun is on the wrong part of the horizon. Similar to {{w|Relativity (M. C. Escher) | works of M. C.

The clouds are casting shadows on the sky. | This comic does not present a particular point, it's just a picture drawn by Randall.
