The cartoon's emphasis on preparedness for war and tactics of armament has led to its being characterized as a "war allegory", involving a wicked anteater that is a constant threat to an ant colony. The ants have been warned by their queen ant to prepare for an attack by this long-time enemy; saying to them: "He's a menace, he's a brute, he will scoop you with his snoot". Therefore, they are expecting an assault and have focused on a military defense, such as preparing fortifications, and compiling munitions in their fortress.
