But what if the drones run out of battery? --DollarStoreBa'al^converse 18:54, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

"what if the drones run out of battery?" What If the Amazon/UPS delivery truck with the '''What If? 2''' book you ordered runs out of gas/diesel/juice? Maybe they attempt repeat delivery. Maybe a refund is posted in 7 to 10 business days.

I was going to write a transcript, but I can't figure out how to describe how this is supposed to be a time series in a single panel. I'll let someone else do it. Barmar (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

"how to describe how this is supposed to be a time series in a single panel" It is three moments in time, superimposed. "Slide is delivered", "Hikers slide", "Slide is removed". PRR (talk) 22:35, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Four moments in time actually. You forgot "Hikers orders slide". 2001:9B1:40D0:C300:102B:825:C539:3F33 01:06, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Five - there is "Hikers walk off afterwards". 82.13.184.33 08:13, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Four - "Hikers walk off afterwards" and "Slide is removed" are happening at the same time ;) Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 14:43, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

I'd also like an on-demand ski lift for upwards segments 73.222.207.213 23:54, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

I feel like this comic deserves a parody of "Jack and Jill went up a hill". Barmar (talk) 19:37, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

This is how I learnt there were waterslides. 64.114.211.21 08:59, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure this would improve the hiking experience for me; not because I have anything against waterslides, but because the downhills are a valuable rest period in between unpleasant ascents. If it were over in a moment I'd still be exhausted at the bottom of the next rise. 79.77.240.136 19:18, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

And probably thoroughly wet, to boot. 92.17.62.87 00:05, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

I prefer ascents, and having bad knees don't like descents. Last summer I did a 1400m ascent to a mountaintop, with only 250m of descent. Lovely! On-demnd slides (they may be dry ones) would make the experience even better for me! IIVQ (talk) 07:38, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

This raises the possibility of drone-delivered escalators for ascending Mount Everest. These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For (talk) 03:38, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

The location you have selected is outside of the geofenced area. 82.13.184.33 09:29, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Othercomics like this have me missing the OTC/OTT more than most days. Would an on-demand-waterslide have helped in their journey? TimeLurker

Yeah, think of how fast they could have RUN down to meet the forty if they could slide most of the way! Seeing Cueball and Megan hiking this this make me think of Time as well. Orion205 (talk) 21:41, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
