The metacartoonist recovers from the initial shock of implementing someone else's script, with the triumphant return to quasi-normal
Toonbots insight into the nature of serial graphical art; this, combined with more of the essential playfulness of the framebreaking /
metalevel / fourth-wall humor concept, highlight the Innerlichkeit of the very concept of being.
The order is going Framed!!!, then Toonbots (above), then Boarders and Sister.

The script used to make this toon:

<caption location="top middle" fgcolor="red" size="12">If this Frank gets 'out', then isn't he just the
same as the other 'Damonk' over there with the glasses? How can be possible that this particular
manifestation of the entire Damonk meme could feel any urge to be in another conceptual framework
which already includes another such manifestation? If this were a logical possibility, then these
disparate aspects of the quintessential Damonkness couldn't exist in the first place; only by being
lodged in their distinct conceptual frameworks can they have any reality of their own.</caption>
