Is the joke with apophenia that there's no connection between the illustration and the definition? Or am I missing something?

The sockets look like the cat's face - also pareidolia.

Also the cat and his shirt are the same color, as is his hair and his pants.

I attributed that to the drawing style, as the colours can also be found in the other panels.

I took it that the panels themselves are meta

Panel 1 - the author sees a connection between unrelated things, because they are unusual words

Panel 2 - is an in-between panel

Panel 3 - the method of composing this particular strip was completely random

Panel 4 - the creation of this strip was sufficiently frustrating as to make the author want to throw their expensive equipment out the window, which would be as satisfying as the sound of the word itself. De-frustrating by de-fenestering.
