==Explanation==
 
{{incomplete}}
 
This comic satirises the art of {{w|Insect_collecting‎|butterfly catching}}, which is typically done with a net on a long pole called a {{w|Butterfly_net|butterfly net}}. In this comic, Black Hat's contraption to catch an {{w|ISS_(disambiguation)‎|International Space Station}} has just been discovered and is all over the news.
 
 
 
==Transcript==
 
:[Cueball is talking to Black Hat. Black Hat is using a laptop.]
 
:Cueball: They said on the news that they found a giant ring lying in a field outside Chicago. Strung with some kind of superstrong mesh.
 
:Black Hat: Mhm?
 
:Cueball: Then they found a 260 mile long shaft connected to the ring, running from Chicago to St. Louis. In St. Louis they found a gigantic winch.
 
:Black Hat: Did they.
 
:Cueball: It sounds kind of like...
 
:Cueball: ...a butterfly net.
 
:Cueball: ...are you planning on catching the International Space Station?
 
:Black Hat: I'm planning to catch an International Space Station. Not sayin' which.
