| − | 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)
