+ | This comic is a satire of computer programmers, who sometimes forget that not everything can be solved with an algorithm. [[Cueball]], believing that he knows what they don't, tries to help. In the next panel, [[Megan]] and [[Hairy]] silently watch Cueball working on the problem on his laptop. Finally, six months later, Cueball concedes, and an exasperated Megan retorts sarcastically, pointing out that she had explained its difficulty six months ago with the timeline. | ||

Megan or Hairy says, "We TOLD you it was hard," referring to the first panel, but Cueball, still confident in his own ability's superiority, says, "Yeah, but now that I'VE tried, we KNOW it's hard." The joke is that Cueball believes that, even though he has just failed, it was his attempt which proved the difficulty, and not Megan and Hairy's work for years | + | The title text furthers Cueball's apparent arrogance by showing a dialogue.
