Assuming rock is 2000 kg per cubic meter and the one drawn is one meter high, then that boulder weighs 1000 kg, and we can see it moves, which goes to show that stick people are VERY strong!

:Like stick people, the rock is two-dimensional. Since mass only increases with the square of the linear dimension in 2D, the rock might still be movable by a single person. That said, the force generated by what must clearly be one-dimensional muscles is harder to predict.

In addition to Paris agreement, glaciars are also quite topical because a crack in the Larsen C ice shelf is weeks away from breaking off a huge piece of Antarctica. See: Patel, Jugal K.

Who cares if this is the first comic since xyz including swear words? If such a thing is considered trivia then it would be equally important to note that this is first comic since abc having 5 pictures. I removed that part.

Can 'Fuck glaciers' be a comment on the US withdrawing from the Paris Agreement? 162.158.222.106 06:57, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Agreed!
Nooooooo, just some of US. The rest of us are trying to figure out how to withdraw from the US...Maybe a peaceful annexation by Canada for northern tier states --108.162.216.40 14:58, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
I think Megan just hates the glacier for littering, not for abandoning a child. 141.101.104.155 08:42, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- Agree and removed the abandoning explanation. It makes no sense, as it is not a child of the glacier. --Kynde (talk) 12:25, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Louis Lane was still alive and conducting when Superman: The Movie came out in 1978. That should probably be fixed.108.162.216.250 12:29, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
The fault-sealing scene is before Louis "dies" and thus before Superman turns back time. In the scene, he flies in the fault, pushing up the land to fill the crevice created by the splitting of the land.Hax (talk) 00:27, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
