Still, doesn't beat the two subtle breaks of the fourth wall in the second part of the stage adaptation of His Dark Materials.<br><br>Funny strip, though. Not sure what the old joke it's a variation of is, however.

Now, there are three walls on the stage: the back wall, and the two to the actor's left and right. The "fourth wall" is the imaginary wall between the stage and the audience. Essentially, it seperates the actors from the audience. "Breaking the fourth wall" means that an actor (or other character) addresses the audience directly, breaking the suspension of disbelief.<br><br>. . .That was a bit more verbose than I thought it would be, but hopefully it got the point across. Maybe wikipedia can <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_wall' target='_blank'>explain it better</a>.
