1 {scene: Head Death's desk}
1 Head Death: SORRY, THERE'S NO ONE HERE TO PROCESS YOUR SOUL AT THE MOMENT. I'M STILL WAITING ON A CONTRACTOR.
2 Paris: But readers will be pointing out that I died before the Deaths went on strike. My soul should already be collected.
3 Head Death: YOU REALISE YOU'RE BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL?...
4 Paris: I'm dead! Give me a break!
4 Head Death: ... AND EXPECTING CONTINUITY?

The fourth wall is an imaginary barrier separating a fictional character or setting from the reader or viewer who observes the fiction. Breaking the fourth wall refers to the act of a character addressing the viewer directly or making some reference to the fact that he is fictional.

Some webcomics make it a habit of breaking the fourth wall, and derive a lot of their humour from it. I tend to restrict it to the "Me" theme. Except here.

Continuity is another literary device I don't use very much.
