==Explanation== | ==Explanation== | ||
| − | + | The early comics sometimes do not present a particular point, but are just pictures drawn by [[Randall]]. | |
| − | + | The title text words "Hello, island" could be a reference to the popular programming print statement {{w|Hello world program|"Hello, world"}}. Usually, the first thing you learn in programming is to make a program that prints out this text. | |
| + | |||
| + | "Hello, <inanimate object>" is also a phrase used among socially disconnected people (such as nerds) in an attempt to be "cute", feigning stupidity, perhaps because it is one of the few strategies that has worked for them to garner a positive social response on occasion. The statement expresses acknowledgement of the existence of something else, while subtly anthropomorphizing it. It can be used to fill the social role of commenting on a presented item, when one lacks the creativity in that domain to come up with a comment that holds meaning. It's something nerdy people say, perhaps subconsciously to bond over how their social experience differs from what is commonly portrayed as the norm. | ||
