Explanation
In this comic, you have to do some back-and-forth reading. The man, in the last panel, is saying to the couple, in the first panel (by manners unknown) to come explore the future with him. Since the panels appear in chronological order, he is literally in the future. The couple has to reply that they can't, since they are not drawn in the last panel, a.k.a. the future. They are stuck.
If the comic took a different turn, and they replied "sure," they all would have to be drawn in a fourth panel.

Discussion
I think the explanation with Megan not able becuase she could be dead wrong. It is because she is in love with Hairy. Cueball is in my oppinion just in the other side of a larg frame that has been split to make the time issue clear. The future is what Cueball wish to enter together with Megan but she do not wish to do so. I have written an alternative explanation - but will leave it to other to decide which is more true to the intent of the comic. Kynde (talk) 18:58, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- Please discuss this first before editing the explain. And try to understand the explain first. I'm doing a revert on your edit. --Dgbrt (talk) 19:52, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- WP:BOLD. I'm reverting your autorevert. You've already been warned about this in the past. At least try to understand the content of an edit before undoing it. Davidy²²[talk] 20:29, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
She says "I can't" not "we can't"
Imo, this comic needs two axes of time to make sense lol. AzureArmageddon 02:26, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
