| − | Interesting... when I first saw this sketch years ago, I assumed that the body of water was frozen and the "river" was a crack in the ice. -- mwburden | + | Interesting... when I first saw this sketch years ago, I assumed that the body of water was frozen and the "river" was a crack in the ice. -- mwburden [[Special:Contributions/70.91.188.49|70.91.188.49]] 22:41, 13 December 2012 (UTC) |

| − | More likely the dark areas are the watery areas. That would explain the original comment: people asking "why the river?" were only making it too clear to Randall how he missed to convey what he meant. The confusion largely comes from the land being completely flat.

| − | :Since he's changed the title text to say that the river is running through the ocean, you seem to be incorrect. [[User:Grahame|Grahame]] ([[User talk:Grahame|talk]]) 06:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)Grahame

| − | However, a river is made of ''fresh'' water and the sea is made of ''salt'' water. The Amazon river entering the ocean is an example.

| − | Besides, some sea currents are called ''rivers''. --[[User:Chvsanchez|Chvsanchez]] ([[User talk:Chvsanchez|talk]]) 23:54, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

| − | I would like to point at that if you look to the left of the sunset(sunrise?) you can notice the dark branching lines that much resemble the rivers on a globe or map. --[[User:Para|Para]] ([[User talk:Para|talk]]) 20:32, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

| − | There's an impossible figure since the rivers/cracks on the left-hand side imply that the light surface is solid, while the dark area on the right-hand side implies that the light surface is liquid (reinforced by sunset reflected on the water, and the ocean in the title).

| − | With the sun directly on the horizon, the ocean wave tops will reflect the colour of the rising/setting sun. The stretch of ocean between the observer and the sun appears to be preferentially illuminated. The rest of the ocean appears to be relatively darker. The illuminated ocean doesn't have sharp boundaries. Variations in wave action, wind direction and current give shape and texture to the illuminated area. The net effect can be described as a 'river of light' on the ocean or "a river flowing through the ocean." --[[User:David.poole.9000|DP9000]] ([[User talk:David.poole.9000|talk]]) 01:09, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

| − | :I don't think the coloured stuff counts as part of the comic, it was very likely already on the paper when he bought it. Also: "to", not "towards". [[User:Fabian42|Fabian42]] ([[User talk:Fabian42|talk]]) 17:53, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

| − | ::Yes the color comes from the [[:Category:Checkered paper|Checkered paper]] which is already added as a category. The sketch is B/W and the text at the top is part of the paper. So no it should no be added to the color category :-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 20:51, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

| − | "The clouds are casting shadows on the sky." They do that in real life, they are called 'god rays'. Although more specifically, they shade particles in the air from sunlight that would otherwise be reflected down to the surface.

| − | i think those are floating islands and not shadows, and that the "river in the ocean" is just that it's some islands in the sea (and yes i like islands) [[User:An user who has no account yet|An user who has no account yet]] ([[User talk:An user who has no account yet|talk]]) 21:19, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
