The word headcanon is a compound of "head" and "canon," and is a term used among online discussions that means "canon that only exists within one's head." In other words it refers to belief or theory about a fictional universe that has not, strictly speaking, been proven to be true within the fiction (some headcanons can even contradict the fiction). |
In this strip, [[Black Hat]] tells [[Cueball]] that he has a "new headcannon". [[Cueball]], thinking Black Hat means "headcanon," inquires what Black Hat's new idea is. Instead of the expected idea or theory, Black Hat removes his hat to reveal a tiny cannon on his head which blows away Cueball and his computer desk. | In this strip, [[Black Hat]] tells [[Cueball]] that he has a "new headcannon".
