I've always thought that "interrobang" was one of the coolest words in the English language. Don't ya think?! --[[User:Dangerkeith3000|Dangerkeith3000]] ([[User talk:Dangerkeith3000|talk]]) 15:32, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
:Coolest?  Not the ''cool''est, but a good word by some other measure, certainly.  I might as well insist that... thingummy... oh... whatsit...  ah, yes, that's it...  "Lethology" is as cool. [[Special:Contributions/178.98.255.57|178.98.255.57]] 00:51, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
:: I like that "Gnaborretni" (an upside down interrobang) is as valid a word as "Interrobang". -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.162|108.162.250.162]] 23:03, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

I think the "C0 Block" text may also be a skywriting double meaning, as skywriters use something called "Corvus Oil" to make the smoke.[[Special:Contributions/24.234.164.78|24.234.164.78]] 18:27, 8 May 2013 (UTC) Dustin

Saying that the C0 block ‘is there’ makes me think that the skywriter already wrote it; perhaps they hired the skywriter to write out all of Unicode in order‽  The interrobang ''is'' followed by a diacritic (overline), but unfortunately it's ''not'' combining.  (The combining overline comes later.)  —[[User:TobyBartels|TobyBartels]] ([[User talk:TobyBartels|talk]]) 20:02, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

I think that they were intentionally trying to trick the skywriter into doing the patterns bad. After all, why would someone actually need diacritics on an interrobang. --[[User:Purah126|Purah126]] ([[User talk:Purah126|talk]]) 01:57, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

"Skytyping" uses five or more planes flying in formation to skywrite in a dot-matrix format. It is computer controlled, so it really could have codepage issues.[[Special:Contributions/68.3.11.239|68.3.11.239]] 23:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

−	Just now catching up by reading all past comics and felt compelled to make my first comment on this one! Since Randall frequently makes subtle references to past subject matter, I wonder if the "C0" in the title text could be a reference to #878 - Model Rail, where he mentions the conflict over HO vs H0 scale on Wikipedia. If you take C0 to mean CO instead, this could be a reference to Carbon Monoxide in the atmosphere, since that's where the skywriting is taking place. I was surprised that nobody had mentioned this possible interpretation yet. [[User:Ianrbibtitlht\|Ianrbibtitlht]] ([[User talk:Ianrbibtitlht\|talk]]) 18:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
