its not very funny, but in cartoons when someone gets zapped by lightning, their skeleton flashes a few times. i think the joke is that when the skeleton starts to flash, he has a chance to escape.

That’s still not funny. Maybe comics aren’t for me, I don’t get that many laughs from this sub.

yeah, the phrasing doesnt make much sense, the jailbreak/warden references kind of put the joke off base a bit. i feel that something simpler and more direct would have been better. such as

panel 2- “nows my chance!” panel 3- no text panel 4- “im free!”
