-The line "Imagining is ''fun!''" is also a homage to {{w|Richard P. Feynman}}'s "Fun to Imagine" Series of Interviews. The power of Beret Guy's imagination—so that he can physically experience what he imagines—is reminiscent of [[248]].

 The next part of the original analogy explains a black hole: the slope of the sheet becomes so deep that you can't climb out from the bottom any more, similar to a black hole, which even light can't escape from. However, the comic subverts the analogy, and the sheet becomes a trampoline instead.
