43: screen borders is an allegory for religious persecution.

We have a tendency to scapegoat minority groups (such as religions, represented in general by La Croix) for what are actually broader societal/environmental issues (symbolized by the changing aspect ratio).

56: OBK Kubanulllh is about people with disabilities being talked over in discussions about accessibility.

Each of the stick figures in the second panel have apparently had both of their legs, plus part of one of their arms, amputated. The amputated limbs are intended to serve as a simple visual metaphor for disability in general. The stick figures in the first panel both have their arms enlarged to emphasize the fact that they're non-disabled.

Although well-intentioned, non-disabled people advocating for accessibility sometimes propose solutions that show a significant misunderstanding about how disabilities actually work. In some cases, these ideas might seem almost like complete nonsense to someone who's actually lived with a disability, hence why the first panel's dialogue is shown as gibberish. When disabled people object to these ideas, they may be ignored, since it is sometimes assumed that they're unable to speak for themselves. This is represented by their dialogue in the second panel being cut off.

Alternative theories about 77: low budget time travel

• There are two Baseball Caps, but no Frame Break, and thus no Time Travel, is actually happening. The one climbing the ladder is only partially visible in both the second and fourth panels, and deliberately aligned themselves to appear as whole across the two.
• There are six Baseball Caps, and the "panels" are actually just rooms in a single building where the whole scene takes place at the same time.

The comic periodically reuses the themes of Writer's Block and Filler Strips as a Conway's Game of Life reference.

And when we say periodically, we mean it. Two comics start off with the strip authors being unable to think of comic ideas - those being 41 and 82. One can therefore assume that #123 will deal with similar subject matter.

Meanwhile, 19 is a Filler Strip, and although 38 doesn't really fit, 57 notes that "metafiction is too hard to write" as an excuse for switching up the comic format, while 76 is also a filler strip. Comic 95 also came after an unprecedented ten-day-long break between consecutive strips.

Where does Conway's Game of Life come in? At the time these comics were made, 19 and 41 were the only natural numbers for which no oscillator was known for that period. The lack of examples fits with the theme of not being able to think of anything, and because the patterns repeat themselves every 19 and 41 strips, they can be said to "oscillate" at those periods.
