DgbrtBOT hasn't uploaded, so I manually created the page. Herobrine (talk) 00:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

I am convinced there's some idiotic joke to be made here, like "Maybe DgbrtBOT hasn't e-met this comic yet" or "Perhaps his e-Mail is down" or something, but I can't find the wording. :) NiceGuy1 (talk) 05:22, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
It also came out very late, around midnight here in Europe, if what Herobrine said about it being up two hours before he posted is is true (it was 2:36 in my time zone when the page was created!) But I guess that should not have had anything to with the Bot? --Kynde (talk) 09:33, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
Just went back to check the timestamps. It had been up on xkcd for about 1 hour 20 minutes when I created the page. But when typing the comment in DgbrtBOT's talk page I accidentally typed the time when I was typing the comment (about 1 hour 50 minutes, hence almost 2 hours, after the comic was released), not the time when I created the page. I'll go edit that, and sorry if my mistake caused any confusion! But since it usually doesn't take DgbrtBOT that long to upload comics to Explain xkcd, I wasn't sure if something was wrong and so I decided to create the page.

Woah, light and sound go directly in to the nervous system. 172.68.189.19 20:36, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

The comic strip connects with the reader: I think the current explanation doesn't highlight this unexpected and pivotal element. In the first 3 boxes, cueball seems to communicate with another (stick-)person from "his" world. However, in the last box it turns out that he is communicating with us, the readership of the comic, in a way that works surprisingly well to create a (creepy) bridge to our real world. At least it worked for me. 188.114.110.58 10:39, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
