This allows impatient children to get an answer during a class, and timid children to get an answer without having to ask the person face to face. Notes of this form are stereotypically written by young schoolchildren to gauge or incite romantic interest. Isaac is supposed to check an answer and hand the note back, but Isaac (whose pen is red) has written and selected a third answer, "there is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer", mirroring the way his computers in the short story responded. The note asks Isaac to identify whether he likes the note-writer by choosing either “yes” or “no”. The comic depicts a note to “Isaac”, a clear reference to Asimov's name, but possibly depicts what life would have been like for him as a child. In the end, the final computer figured out the answer, but there were no humans left to give the answer to. The computers always answered "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER". The comic is a reference to a short story by Isaac Asimov " The Last Question", where humans kept asking successively more complex computers whether entropy can be reversed, thereby preventing the heat death of the universe. 'I like you,' he declared to the void, 'but I don't LIKE like you.' Title text: The universe long dead, IsaAC surveyed the formless chaos.
