    Is the joke that he is smoking crack and hallucinating a world where the always stressful question “what dinner?” Is actually easily decided on?

        I have never seen the twilight zone but the joke is on the people who downvote me cause “the twilight zone” is exactly the term i would use to describe the limbo feeling between “knowing i will require sustenance soon” and “knowing whats for dinner”

          In the show, typically something out of the ordinary would happen during the opening scene, and the narrator would foreshadow how that small thing would have major consequences before declaring that the characters had entered The Twilight Zone.

          In this comic, the narrator might say something like, “Meet Mrs. Anderson, a typical American wife who’s never quite sure where she wants to eat. But after a strong craving on a fateful night, she finds her next meal in The Twilight Zone.”

          Anyway, he’s smoking a cigarette, not crack.

      More or less. The man who appears in front of them is the narrator of “The Twilight Zone”, who frequently appears to explain that the events of moments earlier are happening in an alternate, impossible, universe.
