    I think this is supposed to give some message about the state of the world or something… Unfortunately, I am unable to understand it… Could someone pls explain?

      Another possible interpretation I haven’t seen in the comments: it’s possibly about capitalism under which companies fund school where you learn that it’s normal to be a wage slave or something like that?

        that’s the vibe i got from it:

        A parasitic class that inflicts unlimited harm upon the populace with impunity will further leverage their advantage to indoctrinate their prey and thus reinforce, sustain, and even streamline their predatory system.

      Mostly it’s a play on Disney’s The Lion King, which has a scene where the king lion explains to his son the “circle of life” that while lion eat antelope, eventually lions die, “their bodies become the grass” and the antelope eat the grass. Perhaps there’s some political commentary about a victimizer using school lessons as propaganda to make the prey class easier to subjugate for the predator class, ie force teachers to teach the correct curriculum and the antelope will thank the lion for eating it.

      Also, it’s Oglaf, so the main punchline is that the last panel somehow isn’t “Oh well, anal sex!”

        Way to pigeonhole a great comic as “almost always about sex” just because it SOMETIMES is… 🙄

          Yes, Oglaf has some good SFW comics as well as good NSFW ones. But the official list of comics does not tag NSFW ones – instead, they are NSFW by default and the exceptions are marked “safe”. It is about 80% NSFW, which is way more than “sometimes”.
