:Megan is the one who seems happy here, so I think that the existing discussion text is correct on this point. I think this comic is also a more general comment on real vs simulated experiences. For example, do you think it is more fulfilling to have a girlfriend, or to photoshop a girlfriend into existing pictures of you?    [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.223|108.162.219.223]] 06:44, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Added an explanation of fall. Autumn is only weirdly called that in the US, the rest of the world won't know that. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.53|141.101.98.53]] 18:20, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 
:Uhh, ask a Chinese or a German like me, we are also part of the rest of the world outside the US. BTW: in German it's "Herbst", which is close to harvest. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:37, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 
::Clearly I meant the English speaking world. It's only used that way in American. Don't be pedantic. At a guess, if it wasn't for the autmun foliage in the comic, a significant proportion of British people would not have made the association between fall and autumn.

:::Mentioning both words should be enough — keep it simple because everybody will understand. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 20:44, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 
:::: Let's be honest here, given the huge amount of American media the English speaking world consumes there are probably very few people who don't know that "Fall" is Americanese for autumn. -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.162|108.162.250.162]] 01:03, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 
 
For those curious what the picture would actually look like with the hue shifted, [https://imgur.com/jLMVU8t here it is] - when the trees are green (a 90-degree hue shift), the sky has a hint of purple, about the right shade for sunrise or sunset.
