 The comic is, in short, a new take on the common comedy {{w|trope (literature)|trope}} in which characters in a thought bubble will sometimes look out of the bubble and talk directly to the person thinking it, another person nearby, or even the viewer. In this comic, however, it features [[Cueball]] and [[Beret Guy]] in a conversation together, in which Beret Guy talks of a hypothetical situation by imagining he had ice cream. This then, to Cueball's dismay, creates a hypothetical situation in which hypothetical Beret Guy has ice cream, which he promptly begins to eat. The hypothetical Cueball then creates a hypothetical situation in which a further hypothetical self has a knife to 'cut' out of the thought. The doubly-hypothetical Cueball then uses this knife to reach out to the merely hypothetical Cueball, who will then supposedly use it to cut out of his original hypothetical setting. Doubly-hypothetical Beret Guy, meanwhile, takes no notice and continues to happily eat his own ice cream, in a situation he clearly finds perfectly normal and Cueball clearly seems to expect and accept – probably from prior experience.
-The title text puts the comic into context, noting the unlikely possibility — and your most likely surprised reaction — if a person in a hypothetical situation you'd involuntarily created managed to break out of it and suddenly appear in your room. Or it could be understood the other way, that a person you have forced into your hypothetical situation breaks free from it, and disappears from your room. In addition, since the hypothetical situation in question is "the hypothetical that someone escapes a hypothetical situation in your room", it would ironically be your very entertainment of such a hypothetical that immediately results in its coming about.

Or it could be understood the other way, that a person you have forced into your hypothetical situation breaks free from it, and disappears from your room. There is also a third way this could be understood, that someone in a hypothetical situation unrelated to you in any way breaks free. In the context of the comic, this would be if a passerby saw Cueball escape from the hypothetical Beret Guy had trapped him in. In addition, since the hypothetical situation in question is "the hypothetical that someone escapes a hypothetical situation in your room", it would ironically be your very entertainment of such a hypothetical that immediately results in its coming about.
 Another "thought bubble comic" can be seen in [[429: Fantasy]], and the topic of people escaping from hypothetical situations appears again in [[1582: Picture a Grassy Field]].
