Single panel comic. Title: Cursed connectors #46 A double core wire with an unusual design at its end. A gold wire runs parallel to a silver one until it reaches a region that is a lighter gold color. The silver continues through the gold region to a further region that is lighter silver. Below are two wires of this type tied in a knot such that the gold outer region of one touches the gold of the other and the silver touches the silver. This second diagram is subtitled "the sheet bend"
