Maybe there's a chance this is a Doctor Who reference; The Empty Child http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empty_Child aired 4 months before this comic, with the iconic "Are you my mommy?" quote. {{unsigned ip|108.162.229.45}}

What was the purpose of the paragraph about Freud's worldview/theories?  The comic doesn't mention Freud.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.158|108.162.237.158]] 19:06, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
In the second part of this fable, the boy's optimism has been replaced with disappointment. He's a little older and, perhaps, a little wiser for having endured setbacks and persevered. He doesn't reference ''his mommy'' or ''a mommy''. He says he found, "''[no] mommies.''" The mother-child bond is often considered the strongest human bond. The loss of this bond is explored in the 'Freud' section of the 'Explanation.' It appears that the boy has repeatedly chosen to return to his barrel and continue his quest for some kind of connection, rather than remain in a place without it. --[[User:David.poole.9000|DP9000]] ([[User talk:David.poole.9000|talk]]) 02:03, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
