The moral of this story?

Biomagnification.

The sword is backup. This guy knows science can go wrong.

Yeah gotta keeping feeding the fox and bear poison or poisoned meat.

you'll have to poison a lot of birds to get a bear to eventually die, and then I don't think that creature will be really affected by just one bear. So, the grandpa will have the entire forest full of polonium before this works out.

The moral of this story is that old white men can't be trusted. --Aesop

Personally, I like it without context.

The casual presenting of the fox is the best part.

That's nice. I also thought about Bram Stoker's Dracula, but can't remember if it was in the book or further adaptations.

So what's he catching in panel 5?

A Bandersnatch.

Which is just bait for the Jabberwocky.
