 This was the thirty-seventh comic originally posted to [[LiveJournal]]. The previous one was [[41: Old Drawing]], and the next one was [[42: Geico]].
-Due to Randall's vacation, he picked out comics from his old high-school notebooks for the second time in a row. It is an unusual drawing.{{citation needed}}
+==Explanation==
 Due to Randall's vacation, he picked out comics from his old high-school notebooks for the second time in a row. The comic [[520: Cuttlefish]] may be a reference to this comic. It may also be a {{w|Pokémon}} reference, with the sheep being the Electric type {{w|Mareep}} or its evolution {{w|Flaaffy}}, and the cactus being {{w|Cacnea}} or {{w|Cacturne}}.
 The title text suggests that it may be the sheep that is zapping the cactus, while the original caption apologizes for the late comic release. This is the second time in a row that a Friday comic was released on a Saturday, as [[32: Pillar]] was also released late.
