Explanation
The comic makes fun at the idea that physics is only interesting because teachers use interesting analogues, despite the fact they are over-simplified and don't help when more complex theory is taught. The comic refers to the classic "Ball on a rubber sheet" metaphor as a way to explain gravity in space-time, even though the metaphor breaks when trying to explain what causes gravity. The fourth panel highlights this with the statement that space-time is a set of equations, for which no analogy can fully explain.
