The main cartoon seems fairly simple to me, with no need to confuse yourself 
with the alt text.

Someone called "BSLSK05" comes along, and gives a :) which kills the stick 
dude.  The last frame shows some reptile at the other computer.  If you make 
the connection between the username, killing by staring, and the reptile 
then you "get" the cartoon.
