Such parties are widely perceived to be very fun, because they got so out of control. In this comic, [[Cueball]] (together with [[Hairy]], [[Ponytail]], [[White Hat]], [[Megan]], and [[Blondie]]) is misunderstanding cause and effect and as he plans to throw a party where you trash a hotel room. Instead of planning a wild party, however, he is planning to calmly and deliberately trash the hotel room by assigning people to do damage. Unlike a real wild party, this is unlikely to be fun. Also, because Cueball is so organized, he is also planning for maintenance and cleaning services to undo the damage. In actual trash-a-hotel-room parties the party goers are so hungover or tired afterward that they don't clean up but leave the damage. This often results in rock bands being charged large amounts of money after the fact for the hotel to do the repairs. |

| + | Note that Cueball gives instructions to a 'Mike' and a 'Katie' while giving instructions. Since Megan has a specific name, this suggests that either Ponytail or Blondie are named Katie, while either Hairy or White Hat are named Mike. | ||

| + | The title text to this comic originally read '[proudly greeting the hotel manager at the door] "Did I do aa good job?"' It is not clear if the 'aa' is a typo, or intentionally representing someone slurring their words because they are drunk or hung over from a party. | ||
