Elegant Quetzal: Pigeons aren't a subspecies of doves. "Pigeon" can refer to any species of the family Columbidae, same as "dove". The word "pigeon" is used in many English names for dove species, not just the rock pigeon. And the domestic pigeon is not a subspecies.

 * '''Vomiting Moon''' (&#x1F31B;): In cartoons or fairy tales, the {{w|Moon}} is often {{w|anthropomorphized}}, however depicting it as vomiting would be extraordinary since that would not be in line with normal child-friendly material.
 * '''Vomiting rocket ship''' (&#x1F680;): This might be a reference to the "{{w|Vomit Comet}}" aircraft that astronauts train on. Also, space travel and travel in general (e.g. in cars, roller coasters, airplanes) can all be associated with vomiting.  However, since the cabins of rocket ships should be airtight when in flight, vomit coming out of a flying rocket would be quite strange. While it would be hazardous to have vomit floating around in a weightless environment, the situation would more usually be prevented by carefully containing the vomit, and/or by using anti-nausea medication.

-This comic relates to the recent [http://unicode.org/emoji/charts-beta/emoji-released.html Emoji v5.0 proposal] for [http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode10.0.0/ Unicode 10.0] which includes a [http://unicode.org/emoji/charts-beta/full-emoji-list.html#1f92e vomiting emoji].  [[Cueball]] initially states that the newly proposed {{w|emoji}} look good, until [[Megan]] points out the existence of the vomiting emoji.  While Cueball finds this distasteful, Megan rather seems to like it, going as far as suggesting rather than a single emoji, it should be possible to have a whole array of vomiting emojis by combining the vomiting action with other existing emojis.

 Unicode is the computing industry standard for representing text. More recent additions have included emoji characters, such as grinning face (&#x1f601;) or hands clapping (&#x1F44F;).  Each Unicode character is assigned a numerical code, usually written in {{w|hexadecimal}} notation.  For example, the grinning face emoji is assigned the code U+1F601, and the clap symbol is assigned U+1F44F.  Unicode also supports "combining modifiers" which allow, among other uses, placing accents on letters, adding decorations to other emojis, or changing the colors of flags or skin tones.  For example, letters such as A, O, or n together with a combining tilde (U+0303) modifier result in those letters having a tilde glyph on top (A&#x303;, O&#x303;, n&#x303;), and various emojis for people, such as &#x1F468; or &#x1F469;, together with the medium-dark skin tone modifier (U+1F3FE), results in those same people with altered skin color (&#x1F468;&#x1F3FE;, &#x1F469;&#x1F3FE;).
-Along the same lines, Megan's proposal is to assign the code U+1F93F to be a combining modifier indicating vomiting.  Under this proposal, it would theoretically be possible to combine a vomiting modifier with any emoji to produce a vomiting version of that emoji.  Six examples are given in the last panel, with each being progressively more nonsensical.  The title text continues this and gives another example of a ridiculous combination.
