- It sounds like it would be dangerous, since a razor is a sharp blade. Unless it's Occam's safety razor. Barmar (talk) 22:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- It could be very hazardous to use, if you tried whilst sailing upon the Ship Of Theseus... 172.70.91.54 01:47, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Siege Perilous is ominous and mythical, but what is it a metaphor for? Barmar (talk) 22:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
I don't think the Pelosi attack is relevant to this comic. At best, it could be trivia fodder, but I find it highly unlikely that it influenced the comic in any way. 108.162.216.39 22:50, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Isn't Chekhov's gun supposed to be on a mantelpiece? I don't know why I remember that. It's not in Wikipedia but is on plenty of other sites about it. Anyone know the origin of the mantelpiece angle? 172.70.210.243 02:12, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- not necessarily, it's just the most common example of a superfluous detail in 'Why draw attention to an otherwise superfluous detail if it's not of importance?' that's at heart of Chekhov's Gun.198.41.242.217 07:45, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has several quotes of Chekhov talking about it. One of them mentions a rifle hanging on a wall so it could be from that. Arcorann (talk) 23:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
I was introduced to Chekov's gun when I was sad to my son that fiction has 1)Plot Premise, 2) Plot Plants 3) Plot Fixes. The Chekhov's gun would be 2), but a pistol drawn from a handbag sold be 3) unless mentioned in Act 1. Of course weapons on the wall could be 1) depending on the house.RIIW - Ponder it (talk) 21:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
"Chekov's Gun" would probably be a phaser set to 'stun'... 172.70.86.62 23:34, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
This would go great with a dying ivy with only a single leaf, and a blue curtain. 172.71.215.4 04:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
This has one two many metaphors. That last one is the straw that broke the camel's back. 172.70.175.116 05:48, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- It was perfectly ok until it tried to jump that shark! 172.70.162.147 10:41, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- No need to jump Chekhov's gun here, sharks are fine, just watch out for those red herrings.172.70.246.209 13:05, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
img looks slightly blurry. is this because the 2x version is of an odd width (397 pixels) for some reason? --172.70.111.76 19:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Good it's only the Damocles sword and not the Tyrfing. (Or the pointy thingie of Elric, THAT name I'd had to look up.) 172.70.46.15 08:36, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
