But then a "Cutie" was given a specific name, Megan, in 159: Boombox and later in for instance 215: Letting Go, 420: Jealousy, 478: The Staple Madness, and 654: Nachos. However, as explained above this is not a general rule for a given Megan character.Įxplain xkcd originally referred to this character as "Cutie" (complementing "Cueball" with a matching first syllable). Megan does sometimes appear to have slightly specific personality traits she has quite odd habits, and is sometimes shown to be very focused and intent on a goal. As opposed to with Cueball, an example where this is a serious problem for Megan has yet to be found. In 1608: Hoverboard, however, there are two identical Megans at the bottom rear end of the Destroyer, where one is talking to the other. Often this should be seen as different small comics, where there is just one Megan in each story. Of course she also appears several times in some of the comics with large drawings, like 1110: Click and Drag.


There are very few comics where this happens with Megan-like characters, with the few including 139: I Have Owned Two Electric Skateboards, 173: Movie Seating, 1409: Query, 1496: Art Project, 430: Every Damn Morning, 2040: Sibling-in-Law, and in 1951: Super Bowl Watch Party. This is less clear than for Cueball as there are several comics where there are multiple Cueball-like figures, any of whom could be called Cueball. She is essentially the female equivalent of Cueball, representing the every-woman to his everyman. She does not necessarily always represent the same character from comic to comic. She is the second-most frequently appearing character, after Cueball, and the most frequently appearing female character. Megan is a stick figure character in xkcd.
