 Title text: I wanna hold your hand so I don't fall out of your gyrocopter. |
Explanation
In this comic, the first three sentences are a bunch of statements that you would find in a birthday or anniversary card from one person in a relationship to another. In this case, all the statements are in the negative. However, by the last frame, a positive greeting card statement is used, but is continued in the title text, which makes it less of a greeting card statement and makes it better line up with what is going on in the background.
Cueball is gathering a lot of different sorts of random things, including a deck umbrella, a miniature Eiffel Tower, what appears to be a bomb and the bust of a mannequin. He adds these to an already immense pile of things which Megan (her outline can be seen in the last panel standing on one of the wheels welding something) uses to build some sort of super tank with huge wheels, a mounted gun, satellite dish and crane. It appears to be running as there is exhaust coming out of the top of the machine.
In the title text, a gyrocopter is a very small ultralight helicopter.
