− | + | The comic references Google's new {{w|Project Loon}}, a balloon powered Internet for everyone. As usual, Randall is making fun of an endeavour in a way that questions its meaning. Internet access is widely considered a progress and balloons in this project are not meant to approach people or force anyone to use their services. On the contrary here it's caricatured as approaching Cueball and speaking so close to his ear that it startles Cueball, effectively becoming a nuisance in interrupting Cueball's reading of a book, then leaving Cueball wondering what happens. | |
