Do Cacti Dream of Electric Sheep? --108.162.238.180 01:29, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

My theory: the cactus was draw first. It is a much higher quality drawing than the sheep or electricity, so it was probably drawn separate. Later, he drew a sheep zapping it... doesn't explain much, but does agree with the theory that the sheep is zapping the cactus. Also, 173.245.56.180 21:09, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm confused; did he erase the lines in the grid when he drew the lightning cloud? Otherwise, why wouldn't the grid lines show? 173.245.56.172 16:27, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

He did color in. See the partial grid lone at bottom right. If you look very closely, you'll see mostly yellowish shade inside the cloud. Not sure what technique it is, but looks like white and yellow mixed together. 108.162.238.163 00:31, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Looks like the grid lines were covered by thin yellow drawn lines (there's a place on the upper left of the cactus where the drawn line doesn't align very well with the actual grid line). I think there are also thin drawn yellow lines in other directions (especially visible in the lower right part). 172.68.10.83 14:46, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

What if this is related to static electricity experiments of wool and,um, cactus 162.158.255.19 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Indeed, I was about to comment that I felt the poem was off-base, because the drawing is of the cactus zapping the sheep, not vice-versa. — Kazvorpal (talk) 01:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
