==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|This page was created by AN ON-DEMAND COMIC DELIVERY SERVICE. Don't remove this notice too soon.}}<br />
On-demand delivery is a service where you can order a product and it will be delivered to you within hours or even minutes. The most well-known of these are food delivery services like {{w|DoorDash}} and {{w|GrubHub}}, but there are also similar services for larger goods.<br />
<br />
In the comic there's a vendor of {{w|waterslides}} that provides on-demand delivery using {{w|drones}} that fly the waterslide to a location you specify in the order, apparently complete with a water supply tank. While hiking through a terrain with lots of hills, [[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] order one whenever they're on their way up a hill, so that it will be delivered to the downhill side and they can have fun sliding down.<br />
