This was the first comic in the ''[[:Category:My Hobby|My Hobby]]'' series in over a year. It directly followed the second ''[[:Category:Fun fact|Fun fact]]'' comic in the same month, [[1959: The Simpsons]], after more than two years break from that series. It seems that [[Randall]] returned to his [[#Revitalizing_old_themes|old themes]] this month.

{{w|Code golf}} is the attempt to use as few characters as possible to write a computer program with a certain function, analogously to {{w|golf|regular golf's}} goal of getting the ball into the hole with as few strokes as possible. Reverse code golf would be to write a given program, probably to achieve a trivial outcome, using as many characters as possible. Randall's approach to this in the code example shown in the comic is to create overly long function names, using [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moby-Dick_(1851)_US_edition/Chapter_1 the beginning lines] of {{w|Herman Melville}}'s notoriously long-winded whaling novel ''{{w|Moby-Dick}}''. Regular code golf also results in names of functions and variables that have nothing to do with their purpose in the program, but would minimise their length.
