Arthur has it @1; that’s all there is to this comic, folks.
Yep, pretty obvious to me, too. There are, of course, a lot more senses recognized today. Proprioception, pain, heat, balance, time. I’m sure there are more.
Timing came to mind too
It probably is humour, but before I read the comments and thought “ah yes of course”, I wondered if it was in fact proprioception, as that’s the sort of body-sense you need to deliver a pie from behind your back into someone else’s face with unerring accuracy.
A sense of humour like this is no doubt why God sends clowns and mimes to hell even if they have not technically committed a hellworthy sin, as per the cartoon on Sunday.
Also Spidey sense
Nonsense…you know, when you’ve passed away.
What about his sense of foreboding, then ?
All of these comments make sense.
Just thought I’d add my 2 cents….
The student is about to acquire sense from his Sensei. (At present, he is sans sense.)
Sense of impending doom
Sense of foreboding
Sense of dread
Sense of shame
Sense of direction
Sense of purpose
Sense of responsibility
Sense of accomplishment
Sense of equilibrium
Sense of duty
Sense of right and wrong
Road sense
Color sense
Fashion sense
Common sense
Horse sense
The teacher is about to discover that the student has no sense of humor.
In German, larK’s “2¢” contribution would be expressed as adding his “Senf“, which almost fits acoustically, but taken literally it means “mustard”.
In French, one adds their grain of salt (“grain de sel”).
And in English, if the French person’s listener is skeptical about the veracity of the French person’s grain de sel, the listener takes it with a grain of salt.

The Kliban is B&W, so I can’t tell if that was a red herring or not….
