Breaking the 4th Wall


The fourth wall refers to the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play. The term refers to the imaginary boundary between any fictional work and its audience. In this cartoon it also refers literally to the four walls that make up a single panel of the strip. God manages to move the immovable rock not by lifting it but pulling out the ground from right under it by altering the structure of the cartoon itself.
