+ | To understand this comic you have to do some back-and-forth reading. [[Cueball]], in the last panel, is telling [[Megan]] in the first panel to come explore the future with him. Since the panels appear in chronological order, he is literally in the future. [[Megan]] replies that she can't, since she is not drawn in the last panel, a.k.a. the future. She is stuck, figuratively and literally. | ||
− | + | The title text is another pun. Cueball says the past is too "cramped"; indeed, there are twice as many people in the first panel as there are in the last panel. | |
− | + | There are several different deeper interpretations of the comic, such as Cueball asking Megan to break up with Hairy. This would give Cueball's assertation that the past is too cramped another double meaning, that there was too much emotional turmoil and/or that Megan would supposedly be better off without Hairy. | |
