The first three panels establish that Cueball is a Poisson distribution, that Black Hat finds him annoying and that both parties exist and can communicate with each other. In other words, Black Hat's value is compatible with a Poisson distribution. The implication of panel three seems to be that Black Hat isn't ''stating'' his value but is stating his ''change'' in value to "I'm less than zero." This is similar to the phrase, "I'm less than impressed." The change in value ''causes'' Cueball to vanish. In the fourth panel, Black Hat is whistling a happy tune; pleased at having removed an annoyance. --[[User:David.poole.9000|DP9000]] ([[User talk:David.poole.9000|talk]]) 02:44, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

If Cueball only exists for non-negative integers, how can he be irrational?[[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.16|141.101.76.16]] 16:08, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
