    The animals are doing a cute thing and given the context of the previous panels, that means something bad. The TV narrator gave the viewers some time to marinate in their suspicion before confirming (via disappointed nodding) that they should not find the bird sitting on a frog cute, but sad. The whole comic is a reference to nature documentaries. Where the events depicted in them are usually tragic despite the animals potentially being cute/endearing

      Hm I guess I did get it, but was wondering if there’s an actual, tragic circumstance that causes birds, frogs, and turtles to pile up lol. Thank you for the in depth explanation!

        I don’t think any of the behaviors shown are real.

          But the first two seem plausible!
