I thought this may also be similar to a bycicle pump because it doesn't explode it just enlarges. Wasn't there a comic similar to this where someone blows into a laptop power cord and it blows up like a balloon.[[User:XFez|XFez]] ([[User talk:XFez|talk]]) 18:54, 13 February 2017 (UTC) | I thought this may also be similar to a bycicle pump because it doesn't explode it just enlarges.

Its not mentioned in the explanation (and i dont feel confident enough to add it), but these plots are occasionally referred to by statistical types as "dynamite plots" (as some statistical folk dont like them), which is what i believe the title text may be a reference to. --[[User:Takigama|Takigama]] ([[User talk:Takigama|talk]]) 02:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC) | Its not mentioned in the explanation (and i dont feel confident enough to add it), but these plots are occasionally referred to by statistical types as "dynamite plots" (as some statistical folk dont like them), which is what i believe the title text may be a reference to. --[[User:Takigama|Takigama]] ([[User talk:Takigama|talk]]) 02:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC) | ||
Box plots also resemble candle stick plots that are widely used in stock trading charts. It could be a reference to inflated stock prices[[Special:Contributions/172.68.62.22|172.68.62.22]] 05:57, 14 February 2017 (UTC) | Box plots also resemble candle stick plots that are widely used in stock trading charts.

I just had an funny thought: What if this comic is Randall's response to the recent "trend" of trying to see a connection to Trumps's election to his comics?

This feels like one of the most detailed explanations on explainxkcd I've seen for a normal-size comic.
