+ | The comic opens with [[Beret Guy]] identifying a "bun", the name given to a {{w|rabbit}} in [[1682: Bun]]. | ||

He is still looking for investors, though, such an app would likely not appeal to a wide market. In response to [[Ponytail]]'s confusion, he explains states that bunnies are "like loaves of bread that hop" perhaps making a pun by comparing rabbits to bread, as "bun" can commonly refer to a small loaf of bread. |

This serves as a punchline as despite Ponytail appearing to be the voice of reason, it seems that Beret Guy's inane bun alert system has gathered a dedicated following after all. |
− | + | The title text refers to buns being {{w|crepuscular}} and {{w|nocturnal}} animals, meaning they are primarily active at twilight and night, respectively. This means that someone with the app would get a lot of notifications while they would most likely be asleep. | |
− | + | Megan's question "Is it small?" and her amazement when she find out that it is parallels the idea in [[1682: Bun]] where the bun's size is said to be inversely correlated with its status; smaller buns such as the one in this comic are thought of as higher-ranking "king buns" by the characters in both strips. In real life, smaller rabbits are more likely to simply be children. | |
− | + | ==Trivia== | |
− | + | *In [[1682: Bun]], it was Ponytail who was infatuated with "buns", while Megan was the incredulous one questioning the situation. In this comic, the roles are reversed. This is a strong indication that the characters represented by Ponytail and Megan in this comic are not the same characters from 1682. | |
