Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Is the joke with apophenia that there's no connection between the illustration and the definition? Or am I missing something?
The sockets look like the cat's face - also pareidolia.
Also the cat and his shirt are the same color, as is his hair and his pants.
I attributed that to the drawing style, as the colours can also be found in the other panels.
I took it that the panels themselves are meta
Panel 1 - the author sees a connection between unrelated things, because they are unusual words
Panel 2 - is an in-between panel
Panel 3 - the method of composing this particular strip was completely random
Panel 4 - the creation of this strip was sufficiently frustrating as to make the author want to throw their expensive equipment out the window, which would be as satisfying as the sound of the word itself. De-frustrating by de-fenestering.
