− | + | It is common to categorize groups of people into certain categories. "Lumpers" lump what might at first seem to be distinct categories of people into the same categories, while "Splitters" do the opposite: split what seems to be a cohesive group of people into smaller categories. The comic itself categorizes [[Megan]] and [[Cueball]] into those two types of categorizers. [[Megan]] describes herself and [[Cueball]] as as both being categorization pedants, lumping the two distinct categories of people into one, while [[Cueball]] subcategorizes [[Megan]] into a specific type of lumper: a meta-lumper, since the people Megan was categorizing were themselves lumpers. | |
