DILBERT’S “THIRD WALL” (opens in new window/tab)
I think the joke works. Cubicles only have three walls. The fourth is the hallway, but that doesn’t get you out. If you violated one of the other walls, perhaps … just perhaps …
That’s how I saw it anyway, although the acting bit was an interesting bit of trivia.

Good call to point out the cubicle, as that structure is so central to Dilbert. But I’m not buying that excuse. I definitely think Adams screwed up.
Perhaps he’ll come across this post and give us the low-down himself…

I’m going to run with the 2-D idea that the comic panel is only bound by a wall to the left and a wall to the right, making the audience/reader the third wall.
