Mobile keyboard efficiency was previously tangentially referenced in 1068: Swiftkey. Randall's contradictory time-management priorities are a recurring topic—see 974: The General Problem, 1319: Automation, and 1445: Efficiency. Interestingly, in this comic, White Hat appears as the voice of reason to Cueball, an inversion of their typical dynamic. As Cueball and/or Randall's misadventures in time management are a recurring topic (see 974: The General Problem, 1319: Automation, and 1445: Efficiency), this may be a chance to acknowledge that while Cueball may often make a fool of White Hat, he's far from perfect himself.
Transcript
Cueball: This new keyboard is like 30% faster! I'm never going back.
White Hat: Good, put those years of horror behind you.
Cueball: C'mon. Sure, sometimes my focus on efficiency doesn't make sense. But we type a lot.
Cueball: That 30% improvement pretty quickly adds up to a huge amount of wasted time rescued.
White Hat: I just watched you open Google News and then close it without reading it five times in a row.
Cueball: The fact that I spend most of my time so stupidly only makes it more important not to waste any here.

Discussion
If I'm reading the revision history correctly, the Incomplete notice was incomplete when added - if it's a person who added it, then just a typo. If it's a bot, possibly a bug in the bot. Z (talk) 05:09, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Didn’t Momo tell us, that we can’t save time – and if we you, someone other uses it? ;-). --DaB. (talk) 12:45, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

- ... which, coincidentally (or not?) is an anagram, numerically speaking, of this one's number. Gearoid (talk) 08:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- There where so many comics listed with time management as a theme, so I have created the Time management category and references this instead of a long list of comics (both here and in several of these - so far - 9 comics). --Kynde (talk) 13:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
I'm the only one who thinks white hat is annoying? Perhaps one of this days we could see Black hat "taking care" of White hat 173.245.48.29 20:38, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
I'm glad I don't waste my time doing pointless things like contributing to a wiki about a webcomic! The Goyim speaks (talk) 17:17, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Anyone else think the characters in this comic are are a little shorter than usual? It may just be the bigger heads, but it's kind of funny. -- LuigiBrick (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
