I think this comic also contains a pun on macrobiotics. Esp. the wording "out of balance" seems to be a reference to esoteric speech. Knob creek (talk) 09:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

In fairy tales (most notably in little red riding hood), the wolf swallows whole its (human) victims. The comic depics an inversion of roles. Do you think it's worth adding this observation in the explanation? 188.114.99.18 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Good point, could be a joking reference to xkcd #285 173.245.52.138 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
