Part of the Fortnightly Topic Challenge #35: Restricted Title 1




Explanation in the first image, which otherwise is just for flavor.

Answer



I'll try a different tack, since there seems to be a pattern going on in the sketches:


In the order which I noticed them: The final one seems to have two similar parts:



easter eggs / stir eggs



The third one as well




half-life / half-life (or is it maybe "X-ray Ray" instead?)



and the title and the first image too:



Island (sketch) / I-land sketch



Following the pattern, the second one is probably



eclipse clips




the fourth looks like



eyeshadow shadow



The pasta bowl still eludes me, but stitching together the differences between the parts (as they are pronounced), and ignoring the first one as it's claimed to be for flavour only, we get



E-?-I-?-E



So trying to fit a plausible reason for being on an island to that pattern, the pasta sketch must then be




Bow bowl ("Bow pasta" - "Elbow pasta" works even better, as pointed out by Deusovi in the comments)



And the radiation person probably is called Ray,


( EDIT: finally got it, that's not Ray, that's an



Exterminator terminator!



)


which all adds up to the reason for your trip being that




you were EXILEd.
