==Explanation== | ==Explanation== | ||
| − | + | The early comics sometimes do not present a particular point, but are just pictures drawn by [[Randall]]. | |
| − | + | There is a joke in the title text that a river, made of water, is flowing through the ocean, which is also made of water. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | It is also worth noting that the sketch, when flipped vertically, maintains the appearance of having the sea on the bottom and sky on top, although the setting sun is on the wrong part of the horizon. | |
| + | |||
| + | Similar to [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_(M._C._Escher) works of M. C. Escher], this picture takes visual components of a typical scene and combines then in ways that appear to work well on a small scale, but would never combine that way in real life and do not make sense in the larger context of the image. The clouds are casting shadows on the sky. | ||
