The contraption is simple, but in the middle there's a huge black bunny with a crown, and smaller bunnies with swords, chasing a human to the edge of a ledge.
The title is "Emperor Bun's Wrath"

Absolutely top-notch comic-ry from #XKCD today.

Beneath a banner reading "Mathematical Society: 2025 Meeting" some stick-figure mathematicians are having a conversation.

Mathematician 1: "Any other development from the year to cover, before we wrap?"

Mathematician 2: "Oh, the teens picked a new funny number."

Mathematician 3: "Aww, I'm glad to hear they're still doing that."

Mathematician 4: "I'll add it to the list". She is drawn writing the number "67" onto a whiteboard that already contains the following numbers: "23 (skidoo!). 42. 1,337. 69. 58,008. 420."

67? Maybe the neighbour of the neighbour of the beast on the ground floor 😁
