IF the explanation of "Milkshake" being a coded message is correct, then I like how Melis plays with it. I always thought the more sexual way, Milkshake meaning shaking her milk bags. Sure, that brings boys to the yard.... 141.101.104.151

It's not clear what exactly in the comic is a reference to the Big Lebowski movie. This needs clarification. Todor (talk) 06:48, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

In the Big Lebowski, The Dude's reasoning for wanting the rug replaced was that "It really tied the room together" 108.162.219.80 07:50, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

The event horizon of the black hole in the cartoon appears to be roughly an inch across, which using the formula linking Schwarzschild radius to mass (r = 2MG/c^2) gives a black hole of about 3 earth masses. 162.158.34.138 08:06, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

There's only 5 years between the Big Lebowski and Milkshake (1998 vs 2003) so while "more contemporary" is technically correct, I think it underestimates how old Milkshake is. 141.101.98.21 08:15, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps this comic is in reference to this article referencing tabletop particle accelerators? 141.101.104.74 08:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
