I feel maybe the wife was concerned that he was wandering off, and wants him to come back. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.166|108.162.241.166]] 19:17, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

I think the entire [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=572:_Together&oldid=181042#Speculation speculation section] was way off as it assumes Megan was in on the game, which there is no indication of (actually negative since she is not going back with him). I have added this point to the main explanation and removed that section completely. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 08:51, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

I have added this point at the top of the speculation section, but would rather remove it completely. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 08:51, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 
 
I completely agree that Megan wasn't in the on the game, but i wonder if you've over - corrected here. Marriage is something many people do when looking for happiness and folks generally don't describe that as exploitative. And arguably  he happiness wouldn't be authentic if he told Megan his search for happiness was part of real scavenger hunt with people to verify your achievements (one could argue that living a somewhat traditional life is akin to a scavenger hunt: complete schooling, get a career, get married, own property, have kids, etc.)
 
 
 
And it's not at all clear that he doesn't come back ever. Just that he leaves for a moment without telling her why. After you find an arrowhead penny, you keep the penny.
 
 
 
Your interpretation is possible, but it's one of many possible interpretations[[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.20|108.162.242.20]] 09:30, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 
 
 
I think this is the only strip (to my knowledge) which uses crinkly, crumbly line drawing to (presumably) indicate old age, despite the fact that there are surely other old people in other strips. I think maybe the explanation should say something about that? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.159.43|162.158.159.43]] 11:43, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
