I added the transcript, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to use an emoji for the paperclip symbol. Especially since the emoji paperclip leans to the left, but the icon in the comic leans to the right. [[User:Barmar|Barmar]] ([[User talk:Barmar|talk]]) 20:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

I wonder why there's no question mark at the end of the unanswerable question. [[User:Barmar|Barmar]] ([[User talk:Barmar|talk]]) 20:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
:I think that it is because the question likely continues on, beyond the bounds of the comic (hence why the text is partially cut off), so there's not a question mark there because it isn't actually the end of the question. --[[User:Carrera|Carrera]] ([[User talk:Carrera|talk]]) 20:12, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

   I think that he was referring to the one that was labelled the unanswerable question. <-- Yes, and because the one Randall did has no question mark, the one in the explanation should have no question mark. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.201|108.162.216.201]] 09:36, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

I wonder if the spider thing is a reference to [[1688:_Map_Age_Guide]], more specifically, the part about Colorado becoming a radioactive exclusion zone by 2022, with the "spiders" being mentioned after 2023. It is currently 2022, after all... --[[User:Carrera|Carrera]] ([[User talk:Carrera|talk]]) 20:12, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
:Note to Randall: if you do a red spiders comic on Tuesday of next week, I will double my current Patreon level of support for you. (I love callbacks.) [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 01:34, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

I wonder if Randall's going to include any more weird non-questions in this volume. You know, like that one about the chair. [[User:GreatWyrmGold|GreatWyrmGold]] ([[User talk:GreatWyrmGold|talk]]) 20:39, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

The ninth day of Jancember (or, in mortal human terms, the 9th of January 2023) will occur on Monday... a day before Tuesday! We may only have one day to enjoy the book before the spiders come! --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.225|141.101.98.225]] 21:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


Sorry, does this mean that April 5th is the apocalypse? What's this about "last day of the last week ever?"  
:The last day of the last week ... briefly. Because then there will be another week. It's a weird joke, but I think that's what the idea behind it is. [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 01:34, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
::As I found it, someone had left it as "...of the last week." Which nearly prompted me to add an {{template|Actual citation needed}}. But I instead decided to add the "Briefly." for ''either'' the above reason ''or'' because we wouldn't have much time to appreciate it. We don't know which yet, but future readers (if any!) can make up their own minds.

The Volcano/Nuke question sounds a lot like Scientology (am I allowed to mention them?).  Didn't they stack millions of aliens around Earth's ancient volcanos before blowing them all up, thereby creating alien ghosts who attached themselves to humans?

I realize this isn't the case in France (for example), but in the US, Tuesday is the THIRD day of the week. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.207.8|172.70.207.8]] 01:58, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
:This depends on when you "start" the week. I would consider Tuesday the 2nd day of the "work week", and others consider Monday the 1st day of the week to have the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) together. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.33.181|172.69.33.181]] 03:32, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

2^(2^(2+(2/2))+2+(2/2))+2^(2^(2+(2/2))+(2/2))+2^(2^2+(2/2))+2^(2+(2/2)) comics [[User:GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e|GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e]] ([[User talk:GcGYSF(asterisk)P(vertical line)e|talk]]) 04:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

"Hundreds of the greatest scientific minds are unable to answer" the question about why I'm me. Really? To me that seems like one of those questions that just pretends to be very deep and complex while it's actually just a matter of linguistics. By the very definition of the words I can't be anyone but me. If I were to switch with my younger brother, I'd be a younger brother, but again I'd be me and now have an older brother.

The spiders thing does in fact appear to be about Map Age Guide, which was published, if the date listed and the online calendar I used are correct, on a Wednesday, right after a Tuesday. You see where this is headed.
