Explanation

This comic plays on the idea of an adolescent male fantasy being taken to absurd extremes. A military general bursts into a man's room and urgently explains that his spaceship needs to reach a "dinosaur planet" and is powered by sex with Batgirl and Princess Leia simultaneously. The man at the computer coolly responds, "You came to the right place, General."

The caption below reveals the context: a woman has asked the man to share his teenage fantasy so she can "live up to it." His fantasy, rather than being a simple romantic scenario, is an over-the-top adolescent power fantasy combining space travel, dinosaurs, military importance, and two iconic fictional women. The joke is that teenage male fantasies are so elaborately ridiculous and self-aggrandizing that no real person could possibly fulfill them.
