...What? Understanding refuses to dawn.
I think it's a kind of transhumanist allegory, something like 2001: A Space Odyssey in four panels. The first two panels introduce two contrasting groups, one consisting of a computer, a lumberjack, and a cat -- clearly representative of the calculating and rational, but self-centered and environmentally destructive, modern civilization -- and the other a pair of happy but somewhat feckless figures representing our emotional intuitive sides, who are rebelling against their diminished and subverted roles (and who can blame them?) by mocking sacred human values including the deity Aldo.
In the third panel, the forces of transformative synthesis (abstracted visually as stars and lightning bolts) manifest themselves, sweeping our protagonists through the next stage of evolution.
The result of the transformation is seen in the dramatic fourth panel, as the newly reborn Laughing But Worried Obese Galactic Schnauzer Child appears in the heavens, ready to guide humanity safely into an unknown but exciting future.
