Today’s strip reminds me of a drag double act called Hinge and Brackett which appeared on TV here in the UK in the 1970s and ’80s. The characters full names were Dame Evadne Hinge and Dame Hilda Brackett.
A mismatched bracket (or parentheses) can bring a program interpreter or compiler stopping in its tracks. At least, that’s what will happen with the programming languages PHP and Lisp.
Reminds me of what Pablo Picasso said: “Art is a lie that helps us see the truth.” Sally is not nearly as illogical as any number of talking heads we see on local and network news.

Of course brackets are plural.
If you are in a single bracket, most people wish that they are in a “high income” bracket.
