    In his defense though, Tycho thought MegaMan X stood for MegaMan 10.

    It doesn't?? My world has been torn asunder!

    Interestingly, up until his last expression, this conceivably isn't a "Gabe is dumb" comic. Okay, one can make an accusation that Gabe is dumb, or at least ignorant, for not reading the novel in the first place; certainly, cartoon Tycho might make the accusation. But I'm assuming Gabe is largely dumb in this case because he doesn't know what a book is about, despite the blatantly obvious name. That is, he doesn't get that "The Time Machine" is about a Time Machine.

    But imagine if you were in a similar situation. A friend mentions that he's reading a book called "The Spaceship," and you ask what it's about. Now, presumably, you can guess that it's about a spaceship. However, given how broad the science fiction genre is regarding spaceships, you could just as easily be asking about specifics regarding that spaceship. Is the book about a Star Trek style exploration vessel? A single person's adventures using a spaceship? A history of the world's first spaceship? All are possible, given the title, just as the "Time Machine" could be anything from the original Jules Verne novel to a more soft science fiction adventure through time or even a non-fiction study of the viability of such an invention.

    But then you see Gabe's face light up at karate and it just becomes "lol Gabe is dumb," so never mind.

    And I know it's a great fat cliché, but the look of delight on Gabe's face after discovering it's about Karate is brilliant.

    Makes sense. I'll use the crane technique. According to Miyagi, "no can defense". So it must be good.

    This is a comic.

    Gabe doesn't know what The Time Machine is about.
    He doesn't know how King Kong ends.
    Gabe isn't smart in comics.

    In his defense though, Tycho thought MegaMan X stood for MegaMan 10.

    Those two guys are pretty cartoony at times. It's somewhat comical until you start to take it seriously. I mean, when you really think about it.

    To be fair, The Time Machine has more to it than just a time machine. In fact, the time machine is merely a supporting character. The main character is the morlok that drank the experimental formula and got super intellectual (i.e. he wore glasses with stylish sophisticated frames).
