That hand at the end is what sells it 100%. Without it I would have been trying to guess what they were looking at.
It also looks like an afterthought, like someone told the artist it needed more before publishing.

I didn't understand it until reading this comment.

I thought the joke was that the mime was actually in an invisible box.
I thought the joke was that the wind blew the mime away, involuntarily breaking the box.
I then realized that joke didn't make sense, so then I thought that the mime was being blown (in an nsfw way).
I thought it was that someone started blowing the mime hence their faces in the last panel.
I thought the joke was that they realized they were actually being entertained and felt like fools.
Woah! It's your 2nd Cakeday aramaruma! ^(hug)
I thought he died or they were trapped
I didn't understand I was missing the actual joke until reading this comment.
What did you think the joke was before?
I thought they were realising that the mime being trapped in a box just for entertainment was a bit more horrifying than funny.
Same! I was like "wait that is pretty dark now that I think about it.
Soooo meta.
Me either, for a sec I thought they were actually in a box, but not the comic box
I think that’s more of an issue with you... I think it’s pretty obvious. You really didn’t get the joke in panel 2? You needed the hand in panel 4?
that was the artist's intent, indeed.
I thought maybe if a third of the word bubble tags was coming from outside front of the panel, it would seem like the "audience" was laughing too and clear up some of that problem. Outside laughter would give them a source for their realization that they were in a box as well.
OOOOOHHH I get it now.
Very subtle
How do we know OP is not trapped in reddit drawing comics for our entrainment? Maybe this is a cry for help hmm...
TIL Reddit is an imaginary box.
That explains why there are so many cats.
Are the cats dead or alive?
Closer to a skinner box.
I will reward this comment with an upvote.
iiiii'mmmmm
The maaan
In the box!
Aren’t we all trapped here?
Anybody else remember the Reddit super user Trapped_in_Reddit? That’s what this comment reminded me of and I had completely forgotten about it up to now.
Reminds me of Tiny Rick for some reason. You can only cry for help through creative outbursts.

Shut up and Dance
Made me chuckle. I’ll upvote it.
I let a bit of air out of my nostrils. Upvoted.
My eyes widened slightly. Upvoted.
I saw the word "Upvoted" twice in the comments. Upvoted.
Upvoted for upvoting
Just riding the upvote train
Just gonna scroll past
I think I blinked. Upvoted.
Happy Cake Day!
My lip slightly twitched. Upvoted.
Me too so I also had to replace the air. The vicious cycle repeated quickly for some time.

I'm actually surprised it doesn't exist since hating mimes is in itself a meme since time immemorial. Even before man discovered how to make fire they were hating on mimes.
They discovered fire to fight the mimes
Oh fuck they have become self aware.
^help
Do you do comics for Binghamton University? I just saw this comic in Pipe Dream!
Yup! That’s me :)
Holy shit a BU mention? I was very surprised to see that haha I’m a student here rn!
u/TehDMV is amazing. We should all love HIM. He explained me how the Joke worked. Thank you u/TEHDMV
Edit: u/Alakin148 is dope too!
Probably the first time anyone ever thanked the DMV.
They are trapped in the panel, an imaginary comic box, for our entertainment.
OOOOOOOOOH! Thank u.
!They are in a box aswell!<
Ty!
Jesus dude, spoilers!
But Doctor I am Pagliacci
I've been woooshed someone help.
They realize they trapped in comic. They break the fourth wall.
Ohh right. Thanks for this I feel like an idiot.
Confused Pikachu.
4th panel... 4th wall...
So cool how the only thing to force perspective from the mime to the people is the width of the ink.
Sorry I'm a little drunk
Love this and your other comics so much!
Thank you!
Needs another two panels -- a photo of a guy on a computer reading this comic, then looking out his window.
Actually have thought about that lol.
Then someone from outside the simulation watching him. Then looking outside wondering if he's simulated...
Then a cat waking up.
Oooooh I like it
Brilliant
Nice joke
Meta
Love this
Breaking the fourth imaginary wall
Hey there don't break 4th wall or I will call Jesus from another comic
Every been to a zoo? Not that different.
Ok this is clever.
This comic broke the fourth wall -they are free!
M E T A
haha
Just like my soul. đź’€
I don't understand. Can someone please explain it to me. ELI5
Huh???
That's not imaginary though.
Ha! Look at them. Trapped in an drawn box for our entertainment...
r/phonesarebad
What?
this is some black mirror shit
...but aren't we all??
I initially thought they meant marriage
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Memed Blown
If this is OP.I have an Idea for a 4 panel comic. 1-7 people are looking at a computer screen and seeing a fact that each 1 in 7 people is a Chinese. 2-They laugh at it. 3-they have guns pointed at each other with sweat 4-pans out to it being some american agency or some shit. Again I didn't saw any comics related to it and just wanted to get it off my chest.I
Their imaginary lives were short lived
Nate is great
bandersnatch in one picture!
That title didn't deliver on its promise ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Which wall is it Relationship. Money. Time. Work. Any other
Nope, it's the panel border, silly!
Got it from comments But think deep make fun serious Deep thinking make serious fun Any way tanq for reply

Took a second... 3 secs to be exact
If our reality is a simulation it could be boxes all the way up.
I have an existential crisis now
This is really clever
Very smartly done! Take my upvote!
This is meta as fuck
You should have had the mime with his two hands pushing the top left corner of the comic box.
Ohhh, I get it now, I was lost at first until I saw the hand.
Is this loss?
Word cloud out of all the comments.
Fun bot to vizualize how conversations go on reddit. Enjoy
Shut up and take my upvote!
