 Title text: It's not going to break the fan, bouncing a rubber ball off the wall isn't going to dent it, and the roof can hold me just fine. You LIED! |
Explanation
This comic is probably best recognized when you have (young) kids that still explore everything expensive you have in your household. And while they are not breaking the CD-tray off the DVD-player, putting gum in your shoes or flushing your mobile phone through the toilet, you always consider the possibility that they might. So you come up with various reasons along the lines of "You will break it, and pay for it" if they so much as touch these items. This can be frustrating to children, who feel they don't have the freedom to explore.
In the comic, Cueball lets go of these frustrations as he finally owns his own place. He buys an oscillating fan, and grabs its head, therefore locking the mechanism that rotates it. As it is safeguarded by a release stub, it will make a clicking sound. So, Cueball comes to the conclusion that his mother's constant yelling as he was near the fan wasn't necessary in the first place. Which, in turn, explains the title text.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Bill! Robin looks like he's in for a painful time in that Batman #33 cover (and Santa doesn't look like it's going to be fun for him eetihr on Action #105.
