Laser Pointer
by Jeff
Image text: It's a lasing cat-vity!
This comic is a cat's dream sequence in which the cat finally catches the laser pointer. (If you are not familiar, cats love to chase laser pointers.) The cat catches and then consumes the laser pointer and becomes some sort of laser cat. It then destroys its tormentor.
The image text is a pun on "laser cavity".

I think it also is referring, possibly, to the recurring SNL sketch “Laser Cats” that Andy Samberg and Bill Hader do.

The 14th, 15th, and 16th words in the first sentence of your explanation are typos.

It’s a more of a pun on “lasing cavity”, which is the cavity inside a laser where the actual lasing occurs.

I know it’s pedantic, but I can’t resist: the cat doesn’t chase or catch the laser pointer, it chased then catches the laser dot. You can see in frame five that stick man is still holding the laser pointer, wondering where the laser beam has gone.

Dude, so what is a laser cavity or a lasing cavity? How does it work?
