This cartoon is related to the anticipation of Holy Saturday: Mr. Miro's position "beyond the clouds" mirrors the ontological absence of Jesus after being placed in the tomb. Note also that Mai represents "the women" who were present throughout, even as the men (e.g., Dexter, Old Man Grumpus) are conspicuously absent.
