WHAT'S THAT NOISE?

AI Analysis

Title: "Lab Rats"

Summary:

• The comic strip depicts a man sitting in a movie theater, watching a film about rats.
• The man is amused by the film's portrayal of rats as escape artists.
• He comments on the absurdity of the situation, noting that the rats are not just good-looking but also clever.
• The punchline of the joke is that the man is unaware that the film is actually about a lab experiment gone wrong, where the rats have escaped and are now causing chaos in the lab.
• The humor comes from the unexpected twist on the typical rat movie trope, and the man's obliviousness to the true nature of the film.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
