Twist Ending

Being called a genius should be flattering. In this comic, a character basks in the glow of that praise—until the next panel throws everything upside down. Turns out, it wasn’t a compliment at all, but the setup for an old-school insult.

It’s a twist that feels ripped straight from a Saturday morning cartoon. You’re cheering for the character, thinking they’ve finally earned their moment… only for the rug to be pulled out from under them. It’s a classic example of why, in comedy, delivery is everything—and why you should never celebrate too soon.
