    Is the joke with apophenia that there’s no connection between the illustration and the definition? Or am I missing something?

      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.
