Explanation[edit | edit source]
The original strip had a non-specific reference to video games. This edit places three video game characters named Beat (each from separate games) in the beat panel - an easy visual pun.
From top to bottom:
- The small bird is Beat from the Mega Man series (debuting in the fifth game).
- The guy with the skull cap is Beat from The World Ends With You.
- The small, big-eyed child is Beat from Eternal Sonata.
(Incidentally, both Mega Man and Eternal Sonata have various characters named after musical concepts.)

Transcript[edit | edit source]
Jon: Guys! I'm back from my date! Did you miss me?
{Jon is shocked as Beat, Beat, and Beat appear before him.}
Jon: Can you pause the video game for a second?!
