− | + | A {{w|Faraday cage}} is a cage of conducting material that interferes and blocks out {{w|electromagnetic radiation}} like cell phone signals (provided the material is of the appropriate thickness and the gaps between "bars" are significantly smaller than the wavelength of the radiation). A {{w|cage match}} is a form of wrestling in which the two participants are held in a hexagonal cage and left to fight each other. The comic caption is a play on the two terms, putting [[Cueball]] into a cage match in the faraday cage that is blocking his reception. | |
− | + | The title text is a play on a rule in cage matches that states that a participant wins if they can escape the cage. | |
