This comic is another in a [[:Category:COVID-19|series of comics]] related to the {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}.
 
  
 
[[Randall]]/[[Cueball]] has shown in many comics the difficulty of making small talk, or having a "normal" conversation, when you spent your developing years developing work skills ([[:Category:Social interactions|comics of this are here]]), a trait of nerds such as engineers that is frequently used as material in [https://dilbert.com/strip/1991-12-09 comics].  With the COVID-19 pandemic, he feels that others may have difficulty having normal conversations as well, and so this seems to be a "silver lining" for the pandemic. He can now use this excuse instead of having to admit that he has difficulty in social situations (and always has, even before the pandemic). Randall also uses a false but plausible excuse to cover unusual nerd behavior in [[1900: Jet Lag]]. He also uses another excuse which can get him out of life in general in [[880: Headache]].
