| − | When I saw this, especially the last panel which is reminiscent of the night sky scene in https://xkcd.com/2386/, I thought it was Randall and his wife. So how and when do we know when we are seeing Cueball and Megan and not Randall and Mrs. Randall? Or are Megan and Cueball their in-universe stand-ins?

| − | Maybe Earth 2 doesn't really have any darkness, in which case their shadowflies might be equally enchanting to them as fireflies are to us. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.242.63|172.71.242.63]] 08:27, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

| − | Fireflies are disappearing on our planet. So one read I'm having of this comic is the ecological impact we, humans are having on the planet and other species.

| − | In ''The Best of the Journal of Irreproducible Results'' (page 180) there's an article "Definition of a Darkbulb" by James L. DeLucas, which would be relevant to the idea that "shadowflies" might generate darkness in their surroundings beyond merely absorbing incident light. But I can't find a linkable copy of the article.

| − | ::I did find that one. But it's a poor reproduction of the original, with ADDED CAPITALIZATIONS of words that aren't even emphasized in the original, and lacking the accompanying illustrations. And the ".asc" filetype isn't ideal either; in these decadent days, it's not recognized as an (ASCII) text file by my Windows box.

| |
| − | I remember there was a TV series by the name Earth 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_2_(TV_series) ), not sure if this is of relevance here but I immediately thought of it when I read the title text. It's too long for me to remember if there where any shadowflies occurring, but perhaps somebody has better knowledge than I do

| − | Ah, so Earth 2's infested by the Vashta Nerada? That would certainly constitute grounds for feeling sorry for them. [[User:Whoop whoop pull up|Whoop whoop pull up]] ([[User talk:Whoop whoop pull up|talk]]) 11:18, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
