New comic!

GreatWyrmGold: It's basically the same gag with a different pun. Luckily, I love puns.

 "Edgelord" is modern slang describing a brash, pretentious provocateur on social media, often provoking in a satirical way that if taken literally would be found disturbing or insensitive. The term derives from the word "edgy", which is used to describe things which are designed to be provocative. "Edgy" and "edgelord" are quite derogatory, carrying further implications of being style over substance, or having appeal only with rambunctious teenagers.

 In reply to being called an edgelord by Cueball, White Hat shouts "No" and clenches his fists in anger - which is ironic, as he seems to be on edge. Because "edgelord" is perceived as an insult by socially aware adults, Cueball is actually provoking White Hat, making ''Cueball'' an edgelord in this interaction.  Similar situational humor is also found in [[2008: Irony Definition]].

 The title text makes the same joke, except that the title would be hyperedgelord instead of edgelord. A {{w|Hypergraph|hypergraph}} is a generalization of a graph in which each edge may have more than two endpoints. The term "hyper edge" could easily be considered stereotypically "edgy."
