| This could also be a reference to relativity, but I may be overthinking it.

− | I'm going with the more fantastical route. Cueball could have gone to Narnia in the ninety seconds she was gone. He could have had an affair and a child that is her age within that time. [[Special:Contributions/72.193.184.110|72.193.184.110]] 10:51, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

− | Who is "Scott"? He is mentioned here a couple of times so, we do need a category for him at this wiki.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 22:27, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

− | :We already have [[Scott|a page for him]]. I've adjusted the two pages that refer to him in the title text to wikilink his name like the third already did. [[User:Markhurd|Mark Hurd]] ([[User talk:Markhurd|talk]]) 01:37, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

− | The 90 seconds could refer to time to read the comic for some people?[[Special:Contributions/87.242.215.146|87.242.215.146]] 14:13, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

− | The joke is about relativity. A very popular example found in books is the so-called twin paradox, where one brother stays on earth and the other travels at a speed of light. When the traveling twin returns, he finds his brother having aged years while only hours had passed for the traveler.

− | I feel pretty strongly that Cueball's hesitation is more because he is embarrassed, than because he is joking. bringing cueball's son into the situation would then pull relativity into the matter.

− | It seems to me more like a sketch based on the premise of the Bill Nighy film About Time where the males of the family can travel backwards in time, sometimes changing the future as a result [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.214|141.101.99.214]] 10:57, 8 November 2013 (UTC)Pab

− | It is interesting to note that since the comic gradually reveals how much time has elapsed (or has been imagined/joked to have elapsed), it gives the impression of time accelerating as you read the comic. So if you read it quasi-statically, it seems that Cueball has merely been gone for long enough to have a son about Megan's age, but if you read dynamically, it seems that Cueball is getting older as he speaks, and will age and die before the conversation is over.

− | Why is it 'stereotypically female' to announce approximately how long task will take? In the UK, at least, men do this as well. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.33|141.101.98.33]] 09:17, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
