I don't get it.

My apologies, this of course takes place on the frontier of the Penguin Realm, where the local garrison faces immeasurable odds of corpo-barians and binary-blobians, while trying to expand the realm's border. To support these endeavors, the Penguin command sends reinforcements made up of foxes. One Penguin is particularly distraught, seeing one of the warriors is wearing a penguin skin on its helmet.

Hope this helped.

Xenia, a linux mascot

New old mascot that Rentlar inked below is 'reinforcing' the 'war' between the penguin/linux logos and the other.

It's not really a joke, more a statement about the fox ebeing a thing now.

Furries tried to make the Linux mascot a furry instead of Tux the penguin
