:If it was unintentional rape, does that make it ok? Answer: probably not, but maybe we should not read too much into the comic...[[Special:Contributions/108.162.254.66|108.162.254.66]] 16:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

::"He found, where he could, food and love" - that sounds entirely intentional. Also, considering this entire website is set up to discuss and analyse XKCD comics, saying "we should not read too much into the comic" when the subject of rape arises is pretty shocking.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.210|108.162.250.210]] 11:52, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

:::I think we should treat this case as one of sexual assault, as Megan didn’t consent to having his child-even though they might’ve had a “connection”, that is still no excuse of rape. [[User:42.book.addict|42.book.addict]] ([[User talk:42.book.addict|talk]]) 21:12, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 
  
 
The transcript of this comic says that Cueball is under the water for three of the four "water" panels. However, based on the wave visible in the first two panels, the splashes caused by his feet in the third panel, and the lack of a wake in the fourth panel, I believe that Cueball is sliding across the water on his feet, instead of being submerged most of the time.[[User:Codefreak5|Codefreak5]] ([[User talk:Codefreak5|talk]]) 16:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

This sounds more like a parody of the general plot of The Time Traveler's Wife (by Audrey Niffenegger) than anything. Or perhaps the book is more like this... [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.113|108.162.216.113]] 03:24, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

It kinda sounds like http://xkcd.com/1524/ is referencing this comic (X & Y being the much less plesant dimensions to be pushed through). [[User:Slang|Slang]] ([[User talk:Slang|talk]]) 02:58, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 
 
This is also the major device in the novel On by Adam Roberts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_%28novel%29 [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.38|141.101.99.38]] 19:57, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
