+ | ELI5, or Explain Like I'm Five (e.g. [http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/ on Reddit]), is a way of asking for a simpler explanation of some difficult topic. In this comic, Cueball asks Megan for a simple explanation of her thesis. Megan takes it literally by acting as if Cueball is an actual five year old. A five-year-old kid standing miles away from home without his parents talking to a strange woman is worrying, so Megan pretends to panic and asks where his parents are. | ||
− | + | The title text is a continuation of the conversation. When Cueball attempts to respond to Megan's questions, she asks that he, too, speak as though he is five. | |
