DgbrtBOT hasn't uploaded, so I manually created the page. [[User:Herobrine|Herobrine]] ([[User talk:Herobrine|talk]]) 00:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

: I am convinced there's some idiotic joke to be made here, like "Maybe DgbrtBOT hasn't e-met this comic yet" or "Perhaps his e-Mail is down" or something, but I can't find the wording. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 05:22, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

::It also came out very late, around midnight here in Europe, if what Herobrine [[User_talk:DgbrtBOT#Bot_Failed_Today.3F|said]] about it being up two hours before he posted is is true (it was 2:36 in my time zone when the page was created!) But I guess that should not have had anything to with the Bot?  --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 09:33, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 
:::Just went back to check the timestamps. It had been up on xkcd for about '''1 hour 20 minutes''' when I ''created'' the page. But when typing the comment in DgbrtBOT's talk page I accidentally typed ''the time when I was typing the comment'' (about '''1 hour 50 minutes''', hence almost 2 hours, after the comic was released), ''not the time when I created the page.'' I'll go edit that, and sorry if my mistake caused any confusion! But since it usually doesn't take DgbrtBOT that long to upload comics to Explain xkcd, I wasn't sure if something was wrong and so I decided to create the page.

Woah, light and sound go directly in to the nervous system. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.189.19|172.68.189.19]] 20:36, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Please to make your acquaintance :)[[Special:Contributions/162.158.91.59|162.158.91.59]] 12:21, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
The comic strip connects with the reader:  I think the current explanation doesn't highlight this unexpected and pivotal element.  In the first 3 boxes, cueball seems to communicate with another (stick-)person from "his" world.  However, in the last box it turns out that he is communicating with us, the readership of the comic, in a way that works surprisingly well to create a (creepy) bridge to our real world.  At least it worked for me.

:Not my first thought on the comic, but it makes sense, to read it in a way, that the messages, which Cueball types are breaking a 4th wall. Similar to when using a videochat, but sound is disabled, and you watch the other person type their messages, and then looking at you, waiting for you to read it. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 11:11, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Did anybody else think that when he said to himself, "Chill" that he was going to go the "ICE to meet you!" route? (See https://what-if.xkcd.com/121/) [[User:Mathmannix|Mathmannix]] ([[User talk:Mathmannix|talk]]) 11:41, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
