Editing Talk:2454: Fully Vaccinated

Is there a category for overgeneralizations like this? There have been many comics where a character interprets "you're allowed to do X" outside the specific context that the authorization was intended. [[User:Barmar|Barmar]] ([[User talk:Barmar|talk]]) 15:48, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Kynde, it didn't warn me about any edit conflict between my original Incomplete Template change (no matter, go with yours) and the appending of my few paragraphs. Sorry, would not have let it post straight if I'd known you were working on it too. Also would have immediately removed it, but I see you already got stuck into Americanizing my Anglicised prose (maybe other things) so silly to revert my own thin again.  (This one's ''early'' for Randall... A good 6 or 7 hours before I'd normally have expected to see a new Next button on the prior comic.)

:The transcript is complete. If it is that. If there are some minor tweaks it did not make it incomplete before. The page is using American English since it is an American comic. I do not care that much being Danish, but thinks it makes sense with Randall living in Boston. There are a lot of edits right now. Usually I first see it the day after due to the late release for me in Denmark. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 16:20, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
::I don't particularly ''care'' to write in the Mothertongue rather than the Colonial version native to our intellectual patron (arguments about the primacy of Msrs Johnson and Webster, aside), I just do it automatically because it ''feels right''. ;) Anyway, you (and at least one other AnonIP out there) have done far more to build this explanation up (never mind adding the Transcript, which I usually fear to get wrong) than my single most meaningful post of several paragraphs did only while I thought there was still a vacuum waiting to be filled. Skål! [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.106|141.101.98.106]] 16:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
:::Well I'm not sure of all the vampire lore there is, but also "Skål" to you ;-) or "skull" now we are in the more dark side with vampires ;-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 16:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Alternate interpretation: the homeowner is Cueball, suspicious of anyone (friends or not) who may be potentially infected with CoVID-19, which is why Megan reassures him that she's been fully vaccinated. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.178.145|162.158.178.145]] 21:40, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
:Granting that the identities of and relationships among the characters in XKCD can vary, I don't think this strip would be funny if Megan knew the homeowner; the point of the strip is that Megan is interpreting the CDC guidance to mean that she is free to visit ''anybody's'' house, whether or not she actually knows the person. --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.57.53|172.68.57.53]] 04:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
:Given that he literally ask if he knows her, and she literally says "no", I find this interpretation completely unfounded. Funny speculation, but not much more relevant than a speculation that he has a dead bird in the house because he put a mask on it and forgot to let it drink/eat.

I think that the person visiting might be Danish, as she is probably messing with the homeowner [[Koolkat38]] 08:49 24 May 2023 (GMT)
