I think it's about Ponytail realizing she's opened a can of worms in that she was the one who taught these people about the bun, and now everyone's infatuated with them.

This is basically the title text from 1682. Is it just me, or has Randall been running out of ideas lately?

::::: I must concur, I love the silly "Citation needed" jokes, they're one of my favourite parts of reading this site! :) Sorry, it's permanently funny.

:::::My problem with the "joke" is that it always links to the protest comic. In the What-ifs, Randall links to something that looks or sounds vaguely like "citation".

:It's a common colloquialism where I'm from, said without religious intentions. I was more commenting on your work on the site rather than this particular comic, though I can see why that may have been confusing. Next time I will reserve praise for your talk page. --[[User:Lackadaisical|Lackadaisical]] ([[User talk:Lackadaisical|talk]]) 19:55, 3 August 2017 (UTC) | :It's a common colloquialism where I'm from, said without religious intentions.

:: I was raised without religion, only going to churches and whatnot for weddings and such. I firmly consider myself as not having a religion. I feel we'd all be better off without religion (though I recognize people have a right to their religion). But even I have been known to say "thank god". It has become a saying, and it doesn't really have a non-religious equivalent ("thankfully" isn't used the same way, "thankfully for" is grammatically incorrect, "I'm thankful for" feels more wordy and formal). Ignore the religious aspect. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 03:37, 4 August 2017 (UTC) | :: I was raised without religion, only going to churches and whatnot for weddings and such.

A little grammar Nazi thing I picked up, in the first panel Ponytail says, "to who" instead of "to whom."

:Please enter new comments at the bottom. And as a German I don't like the phrase ''grammar Nazi'' because {{w|Nazi}} means fascism, I'm sure that's not your intention. But you're right, and even not a pedant, because "to whom" sounds much better. Maybe the picture will be updated in the future. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 20:42, 4 August 2017 (UTC) | :Please enter new comments at the bottom.

− | + | :I think that "to who" is pretty much standard, especially in spoken English - e.g. see the "usage" section here [https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/who]. I can't imagine anyone saying "to whom" in normal speech unless they were making a joke, being overly formal. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.92.172|162.158.92.172]] 16:09, 7 August 2017 (UTC) | |

Am I the only dirty old man that thinks that this has to to do with taking pictures of people's behinds - as in "buns of steel" kind of buns? and on alerting friends on social media regarding some particularly picturesque, ahem, tight, small, buns?[[Special:Contributions/173.245.50.216|173.245.50.216]] 02:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC) | Am I the only dirty old man that thinks that this has to to do with taking pictures of people's behinds - as in "buns of steel" kind of buns? and on alerting friends on social media regarding some particularly picturesque, ahem, tight, small, buns?[[Special:Contributions/173.245.50.216|173.245.50.216]] 02:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC) | ||

::I totally missed the bread thing until I read the explanation here. Figured the cartoon was supposed to be some play on callipygian.
