− | I just did a quick image search and didn't find a single picture of Dr. Fauci wearing a lab coat during a press conference. Maybe we should mention that in the explanation. [[User:Bischoff|Bischoff]] ([[User talk:Bischoff|talk]]) 09:41, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

− | This comic uses lowercase text which makes it feel like some of the really old comics.[[Special:Contributions/172.69.34.52|172.69.34.52]] 23:22, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

− | : I think it's intended to be sotto voce. Like, normally in text-format communications, switching to AllCaps can be taken as SHOUTING! Which is an interesting shift. But clearly he's singing 'to' his fish alone without any reason to broadcast the fact, and he only deliberately wishes his normally spoken words (in his response to the call) to be heard by anyone else.

− | "The comic shows him singing a made-up song to his pet fish in order to memorise his daily routine" … except that I don't find '''any''' indication that it's to help him memorize his daily routine. I considered it just like talking to our other pets (or infants), but with a tune applied. Talking gently, humming, singing, etc. is frequently used when working with animals or infants to keep them calm and reassured. But for this case, I think it is most likely to a form of self-talk, to get him mentally prepared to face the crowd. (or maybe singing is just something he likes to do, like all those people we see in musicals) [[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.246|108.162.245.246]] 22:23, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

− | Interesting how <i>wear</i> and <i>there</i> rhyme despite "there" not really being part of the song. <span style="font-family:serif">[[User:Bubblegum|<span style="color:#00BFFF">bubblegum</span>]]-[[User_talk:Bubblegum|<span style="color:#BF7FFF">talk</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Bubblegum|<span style="color:#FF7FFF">contribs</span>]]</span> <span style="font-family:serif">23:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)</span>

− | Without information, nobody knows which part needs fixing. If anyone knows why this is incomplete, please post the reason here. If nobody can provide a satisfactory answer, maybe we should consider removing the incomplete tag.--[[User:Quillathe Siannodel|Quillathe Siannodel]] ([[User talk:Quillathe Siannodel|talk]]) 14:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

− | EDIT: I am posting this exact same text on other comics of questionable incompleteness. It's not spamming, it's a conscious attempt to clean this category up made by a real live human.--[[User:Quillathe Siannodel|Quillathe Siannodel]] ([[User talk:Quillathe Siannodel|talk]]) 14:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
