1947: "Night Sky"

[airdrik]

Title text: There's a mountain lion nearby, but it didn't notice you because it's reading Facebook.

Seeing the star-filled sky in the second panel while reading about being overwhelmed by the internet, was expecting commentary upon looking up, possibly followed by retreating to the internet (though I guess that's already been covered several times before). Which one's more overwhelming: the internet or the night sky?

The mountain lion might be occupied with Facebook, but be wary of the cougar which lurks nearby.

I suspect there's a subtle (or not-so-subtle) self-deprecating reference to all XKCD comics' speech being in ALL CAPS.

Also: need to bring along smartphone with app that presents the night sky based on your current location.

Pretty much all comics all my life have been in all caps. And until just recently, every sentence has ended in an exclamation point. ("GOOD MORNING, MR KENT!" "GOOD MORNING, JIMMY!" "YOU SHOULD TRY THESE DONUTS!")

Is this a left-Twix/right-Twix thing?

I, like, totes get what the comic person is going through. Man or woman... or... non-binary genders. Anyways, it feels like the 'net overwhelm me a lot, make me anxious and... I almost never talks about actual xkcd comics so here I am like Nicki Minaj chatting femininely re: my xkcd comics feels. <3 You Randall Monroe.
