 ::As the tire comes from a truck and it's diameter is more than half the height of these small girls they are definitely kids (not that Randall could not have made adults make a swing as like in [[150]]).

So they are not Megan (which looks nothing like a curly haired girl) and also not Hair Bun Girl as it is defined that these characters are adults. There are many stories using kids and they will never represent Cueball, Megan or Ponytail etc. Those with hats are for instance never drawn small! Have thus corrected the explanation.

	There have for some time been an attempt to make a '''[[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Rename_Hair_Bun_Girl\|debate]]''' regarding the name of [[Hair Bun Girl]], as a user wished to drop the girl and change to simply [[Hairbun]] along the lines of the name of [[Ponytail]]. After his comic was released the user decided to change the name, and this is why she now goes by the name Hairbun. If anyone has any feelings towards this (also positive) please add to the debate, which never really got started. I put this comment here, as this was the last comic released at the time of the change (and Hair Bun Girls name had even been used in the explanation though she is not part of the comic, which would be the last time before the change occurred). --[[User:Kynde\|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde\|talk]]) 11:04, 25 March 2016 (UTC)		There have for some time been an attempt to make a '''[[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Rename_Hair_Bun_Girl\|debate]]''' regarding the name of [[Hair Bun Girl]], as a user wished to drop the girl and change to simply [[Hairbun]] along the lines of the name of [[Ponytail]].

+;Similarity to Calvin and Hobbes
 A very similar Calvin and Hobbes cartoon came up on [http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2016/03/18 gocomics.com just last week]. I don't think Randall would have copied it intentionally, but I suspect some chain of suggestion led to re-use of this idea.
