This "catch the sun in the butterfly net" subplot reminds me of novel by Polish author Kornel Makuszyński (and a children's films based on it) "{{w|The Two Who Stole the Moon}}" --[[User:JakubNarebski|JakubNarebski]] ([[User talk:JakubNarebski|talk]]) 08:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I had to laugh at this part of the explanation, and then remove it: "(In reality, the fact that the net is not melting or burning proves that the sun is nowhere near the net.)" Because in this comic they obviously catch the sun ion a net, as they later (after the catch) has put it on sale on Craiglist as per the title text. But the reason I laughed was that the only problem the writer of this sentence saw was that the sun would be too hot. What about it's size and gravity, if we are talking about the real sun... So yes if it where the real sun it would be a long way away to look this small (150 million km as usual, 8 light minutes). But in this comic it is between the trees and it is very small and cool. Only strange thing is that [[Beret Guy]] is not involved as his [[:Category:Strange powers of Beret Guy|powers]] would explain this comic. But then again he would never do it for profit. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 09:23, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

:If the sun will be cold, it would also be dark. On the other hand, if the sun will have it's real temperature and be small, it would be exploding ... it's hard to remove just one property from Sun. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 16:04, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
