Maybe it's a reference to the First Edition, only available on the internet? [[Special:Contributions/172.68.55.11\|172.68.55.11]] 13:32, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

 I never knew about House Of Leaves, before now.  This probably explains why this comic befuddles me.  Checking out the description of it I see the stylistic link being made, although can't rule out that I'd remained befuddled (or even become much more so) even if/when I've familiarised myself with the book itself. :-) [[Special:Contributions/178.107.249.215|178.107.249.215]] 22:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

 Should "House" in alt text really be colored blue?  It's definitely not blue in the original, probably just because of HTML limitations, but still. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.11.53|172.68.11.53]] 02:11, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

 Is the Mohawk Girl a reference to #147? The portrayed scene seems similarly surreal and she is mentioned in 147's title text.

	I think this is the one example of an XKCD comic that had me completely lost. I knew nothing about the book in question, wasn't even able to infer its existence from the cues of the graphic itself. I was speculating that maybe Randall just hated IHoP or something, but that didn't seem right. Usually I come to Explain for some minor detail, or for one I do understand but am curious about others' reaction to. But in this case it was "I have no idea...please help me". I remember similar bemusement when it first came out. But I prefer Waffle House, anyway.		I think this is the one example of an XKCD comic that had me completely lost.
