This comic reminds me of the novel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkroom_of_Damocles The Darkroom of Damocles], in which someone during WWII believes he is recruited into the resistance, and performs several missions, but his recruiter disappears after the war, and he is arrested for collaboration. One interpretation of the novel is that the main character has made everything up or is delusional, similar to how Cueball is delusional about having entered some secret organization. - [[User:Redmess|Redmess]] ([[User talk:Redmess|talk]]) 19:30, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Is it possible that Cueball is pulling Science Girl's leg? This looks like the sort of response Calvin sometimes gets from his dad. [[User:Koro Neil|Koro Neil]] ([[User talk:Koro Neil|talk]]) 22:11, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 
 
To me, the bit in the explanation about how the mark would have faded away could be explained by Cueball "renewing" it himself. Seems completely in character for him in this comic, given how badly he wants to believe in this. Or, I'm completely splitting hairs and it didn't matter to Randall when he made it or to the comic's meaning. [[User:Sihal3|Sihal3]] ([[User talk:Sihal3|talk]]) 23:39, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
