Editing Talk:268: Choices: Part 5

I think it's related to [[235: Kite]]. There is kite, Megan, Cueball - but they didn't say "hi". {{unsigned ip|108.162.231.55}}

I'd agree here. It's nice to have pleasant realisations. [[User:Toad573|Ribbit it&#39;s Toad!]] ([[User talk:Toad573|talk]]) 05:44, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this should be taken as something that happens in direct chronological relation with the previous "Megan travels to another universe" series; it's not apparently related. I see no reason to treat these cartoons as if they follow any particular order or time frame, except when it's obvious. In fact, until I came here and started reading the explanations, I never even thought of them as particular "characters" with names, just representations of certain types of people. It wasn't long, but I hadn't even associated Black Hat with being an "asshole" in particular. I thought it was just a way of giving the series some texture. In any case, he's the only one that shows a real definite set to his personality, and he could be representative of a certain type of person. The others are less so, but I don't think they should be viewed as sequential characters in a storyline; they're more like people in The Far Side, where they usually look very much alike, but there is no actual relation between the people shown in on frame and the next. Not to say giving them names doesn't make explaining easier, but I wouldn't take it any further than that. Personally, anyway. Unless Randall specifically said they were intended to be specific characters at some point... [[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.118|108.162.218.118]] 06:19, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
: Um, you've seen the strip title? It's labeled as part of the series, if it wasn't enough to be directly after and contain an identical character doing something in line with the previous strip's suggestions. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.40|141.101.98.40]] 17:20, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Could the Cueball dude with the backpack possibly be the same as the one doing math from Choices part 2? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.123.115|162.158.123.115]] 21:24, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
:Good catch! I think he is! Do you want to add to the explanation yourself? (P.S.: It is common/best practice to add any new discussion points at the bottom of the page. I have moved this to the bottom.) --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 06:21, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

I think the capital 'S' in science doesn't necessarily suggest personification, just like capitalizing "Truth" doesn't.
