- 647: Scary has the distinction of being the first comic to call Rob by his name in the transcript instead of saying "Man:".
This is despite the fact that the earlier comic 632: Suspicion also calls Rob by his name in the transcript (and of course 276: Fixed Width uses it as well, albeit in an unconventional format). Is this some reference to explainxkcd history that I'm not aware of? - jerodast (talk) 14:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Last Initial?[edit]
In comic 838, we see Rob's *nix username as robm. I assume that would be a last initial... but in any case, should we include it in the wiki as additional information about him?
Rob vs. Cueball[edit]
I get a vague sense that Rob is the name Randall gives to Cueball when it is appropriate for Cueball to have a name in that context. Am I the only one? QuarterNotes (talk) 22:40, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
