| − | [[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] have driven some distance from home, and Megan enjoys the pastime of {{w|leaf peeping}}, happily taking photographs of the beautiful {{w|fall}} or autumn foliage. Cueball points out that they could've stayed home and used {{w|Photoshop}} to alter pictures they've already taken, saving themselves the trouble of going on the trip. The {{w|hue}} control in such image editing programs shifts the colors around the spectrum without altering the brightness; the green leaves in a summer picture could then easily be shifted to yellow or red. | + | [[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] have driven some distance from home, and Megan enjoys the pastime of {{w|leaf peeping}}, happily taking photographs of the beautiful {{w|fall}} or autumn foliage.

(Meanwhile, a blue sky would become green or yellow, though.) Megan simply shushes him in the strip, but the title text is implied to be Megan's retort, saying that Cueball used to be a happier person. |

The comic is also showing how, because of technology, many people are not as "happy" as they once were. Instead of appreciating natural beauty, Cueball simply wishes to "replicate" the experience by using Photoshop; unfortunately, this would deprive him of both the experience of beautiful fall leaves and a shared intimacy with Megan. | The comic is also showing how, because of technology, many people are not as "happy" as they once were.
