I think its good. Hits on all the points, unless anyone sees differently I think it adequately explains the comic. I think all the editing from here is flow and stylistic stuff. And that's minimal. --[[User:Lackadaisical|Lackadaisical]] ([[User talk:Lackadaisical|talk]]) 20:22, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

It's a Cunningham's law reference, guys, that's it. {{unsigned ip|141.101.106.155|11:38, 26 February 2015}}

The title "Duty Calls" has a double meaning.  One that Cueball needs to go "fix" the internet and that he needs to "be" with his S/O.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.47|108.162.216.47]] 21:04, 26 August 2015 (UTC){{unsigned ip|127.0.0.1}}

I think this explanation misses the case when someone is ''factually'' wrong on the internet, and doesn't just have a different opinion. For example, when someone on Facebook "discovers" that the Mercator map projection is "wrong" and that the "true" one is Gall-Peters (true story), I believe even Randall would feel the need to say something. But of course, the border between factual errors and arguing is very thin... [[Special:Contributions/162.158.150.64|162.158.150.64]] 09:50, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
