Thanks, I needed that clarification. But I'm still not super sure what I'm looking at... is the skin in the second panel supposed to belong to the huge dragon in the first panel? It doesn't make sense. Presumably there's a huge body attached to that head, the shapes just don't make sense.

Correct.

The moopsy has drunk the swamp gobbler's bones, and now with nothing to support the squishy insides, the flesh bag drops and it's unable to move.

Presumably they die when their bones are drunk, otherwise it's a painful few minutes or hours as your system shuts down from not having the skeletal support for organs and stuff.

It's from a TV show called Star Trek: Lower Decks as the "oh no scary monster is chasing us" plot, and it's cuteness compared to the swamp gobble is just supposed to be funny. In order to demonstrate it's actually the real monster the fovvler cowers away from it before the moopsy jumps on it and basically it deflates like a balloon.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
