xkcd comic where a bald stickman (Person1, pressumably male) is walking up to the open door leading to a medium length haired stickman's (Person2, pressumably female) apartment

(First panel)

Person1: "Hey, I was wondering if you had plans for-- Holy crap, what happened to your apartment?"

Person2: "I filled it with playpen balls!"

Person1: "I... What? Why?"

(Second panel, from the point of view of Person1)

Person2: "Because we're grown-ups now, and it's our turn to decide what that means."

In the third panel Person2 is out of frame and Person1 is seen staring at the ball-apartment, then in the fouth panel he's out of frame too, the balls are spilling out of the door and a pink heart is flying out of the room

I have a framed and signed copy of this one on my wall.

:O that sounds cute! added to my list of ideas to make my room prettier >u<

Edit: wait, signed by Randall Munroe? :O

Yeah, by Randall. Years and years ago he had them on his website. My wife got it for me.

It would be awesome if it was signed by like Tim Buckley

my all time favourite xkcd. if i was to get a tattoo it would be from this

I liked angular momentum better, but this is a super close second. While I still love xkcd, those early strips were special.

Omg yeah it's so damn cute and has such a nice message 💕 Def my fave so far too >u<

yes yes yes !!! dream house id hav somuch fun !!!!

I imagine it would be quite fun for a while, but that the novelty would wear thin about the time you woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom for the first time.

Filling a basement den with them, though... lounging in a sea of balls while watching TV or something... I am not seeing the downside.

I mean you couldn't snack while in then - too much risk of crumbs and it'd be difficult to clean with them all around so risk of bugs. I guess you could just vacuum blindly !

I’ll convince people there’s some sort of creature living under the balls as my roomba moves around under them.

Imagine the flora and fauna that would slowly grow in there
