Discussion
It looks a bit like Saba, in the Caribbean. 82.161.213.206 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- It's a hippo
I think the bumps on the top of the peak make a look like a hippopotamus-shaped island. 173.245.56.200 19:48, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
Is it just me or is the title text explanation trying to say something? 108.162.216.112 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
This looks a lot like the island with an old airfield in Kerbal Space Program. 162.158.238.112 09:15, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- The first beta release of Kerbal Space Program was in 2015, this comic is form 2005. --Dgbrt (talk) 19:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- I know. Clearly Randall is a time-traveler! (The beta release was in 2011, by the way.) 162.158.238.118 13:31, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
