| | Several other comics deal with existentialism, not just 625. If we're not going to mention ones like 167 or 220 then the wording should be changed to something like "(The character Megan also has a habit of expressing existential angst in comics such as 625: Collections.)"--[[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.8|108.162.242.8]] 00:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC) | | Several other comics deal with existentialism, not just 625.

| − | Either there should be a link that mentions Randall having existential angst, or it should be corrected to say the identity is from one of xkcd's characters, like Cueball or Megan. If I had a '''lot''' more time, I would search for these references. If someone else recognizes the importance of my opinion (if any), maybe there should be an incomplete tag too.

| − | :I agree, there isn't sufficient justification that this is Randall. His self-portraits more typically resemble [[Cueball]] than [[Hairy]] (e.g. the dust jacket on the What If? book. [[User:Djbrasier|Djbrasier]] ([[User talk:Djbrasier|talk]]) 01:36, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

| − | ::But it seems clear from the character pose and speech lines that we're looking at the thief, not the victim. As for existential angst, it being a recurring theme in the comic (as noted by the comments above) suggests that it is unlikely for Randall to not feel that way at least sometimes. But the strongest evidence I would push back with is that Randall has never elsewhere used the first-person in captions to indicate a character. I've boldly removed the incomplete tag, though feel free to put it back if my argument is unconvincing. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.95|108.162.216.95]] 14:38, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

| − | :::I'm somewhat unconvinced, but more troubled by the claim that this is showing the thief. It seems clear to me that it is the victim who is misunderstanding what it means for his identity to be stolen, as indicated by the title text.

| − | Randall wouldn't be confused/coming to terms with know aspects of his personality. The Thief has newly acquired them and now is dealing with it. That's the joke.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.238.192|108.162.238.192]] 21:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
