Ah yes, another jab at red delicious apples from Randall. I love it. Trogdor147 (talk) 03:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Another"? would you mind linking to previous jab(s) so that we may link to it/get a category created for these jabs, and link to that category? - Vaedez (talk) 10:27, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- One prior comic 'jab', for which the explanations refers to his book-jab at them. There may be more, that was just from memory, but not sure Cat-worthy just yet. But a direct reference link can wait until someone has searched for more/better, maybe. 141.101.76.197 13:18, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Uhh, Randall was lacking inspiration for a comic? I saw nothing worth a comic, so I came here. Seems like Randall just doesn’t like Red Delicious.—Besides, is there a better word than “jab”? Mockery?--172.70.246.196 06:30, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- If this is a running gag, should there be some kind of category for it, like Category:My Hobby does? 172.70.179.63 08:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
This feels a bit like a pun that he expected a "tasty" apple but found a "delicious" instead--or maybe just an assertion that the name of Red Delicious apples is a lie. - Vaedez (talk) 10:19, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Why didn't Randall draw Newton's hair when he was fully capable of doing so in 626: Newton and Leibniz? 172.70.39.35 11:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Because it's not Newton. From the apple story,some people seem to have got the impression that Newton was the first to observe gravity, and therefore "was he really such a genius? I reckon I'd have noticed things falling to the floor". The comic makes fun of these would-be discoverers of the laws of gravitation, and presents an alternative inspirational moment that might be equally likely to these lesser intellects without the benefit of hindsight.172.70.85.167 12:09, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
