Looks like the bottom bars of the window are already cut…before they even ate the cake!

The bars are already cut off

Well, she managed to get it to him.

A computer criminal would ask for a different hack.

She’s a literalist. Wants everything to be perfectly clear.

This hacksaw-shaped cake looks like a cross between a “D” and a “Q” – a “DQ” cake – did it come with soft serve ice cream?

The problem would be, if she understood your intentions and still made it that way shrug

Subtlety does not seem to be part of the plan here.

The fact that that got as far as their cell suggests the cake was probably unnecessary.

The more successful escapees had electric hacksaws

…and so she did…..

In today’s technology heavy prisons, a computer hack is more appropriate.

I once wrote my Uncle Junior Green in Duval County Jail asking if there was anything he needed, such as a file or a hack saw. He wrote back there was so much steel, so many iron bars it would take him the entire time to get out.

Before I read the punch line below the drawing I thought the inmate had just opened a gift from a nut job conspiracy theory adherent.

When I first looked at this, I thought the bit on the right (the handle) was the bit cut out of the middle. It seemed like the guards had found the hacksaw blade in the middle of the cake, carved it out, then passed along the remaining cake.

Sure. No one would be suspicious of that cake!
