[Panel 1: Cueball is on the left with a ghostly halo around him. Hairbun is on the right, holding a hoe vertically.]
- Cueball: Oh Hi! Guess my time machine works. How's life in the Iron Age?
- Hairbun: Not bad. Developing new kinds of plows.
- Cueball: Cool.
- Hairbun: And my brother was just lost at sea.
[Panel 2: Hairbun is out of the panel.]
- Cueball: I'm sorry.
- Hairbun [from outside the right side]: It's OK. I think sea navigation is probably impossible.
[Panel 3: Cueball and Hairbun are both shown.]
- Cueball: Oh yeah, you don't have the compass, right?
- Hairbun: The what?
- Cueball: The weird rock that always points north?
- Hairbun: What are you talking about?
[Panel 4: Cueball and Hairbun are both shown.]
- Cueball: It does sound ridiculous when I say it out loud. Anyway, spoilers for the magnetic compass. Sorry.
- Hairbun: What's a spoiler?
- Cueball: ...spoilers for the concept of a spoiler, too.

i think it should be "this page was created in the past" not "this page was created in the future". im changing that (its more like present here cause its 22:15, 27 May 2026 (UTC))
- Aren't they all created in the past by the time we read it? Barmar (talk) 22:22, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
