I don’t follow - why did the horse get bigger?
TBH I don’t really get the joke here, other than general absurdism. The horse getting bigger is probably a reference to the sandworms from Dune, but the connection to religion isn’t clear. Could be a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Messiah’s_Donkey:
The triumphal entry into Jerusalem is a narrative in the four canonical Gospels describing the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem a few days before his crucifixion. This event is celebrated each year by Christians on Palm Sunday.
It’s a rather specific reference for the Oglaf creators to make, and the comic wasn’t posted on any day that’s related to that, but that’s my best guess.
I like the concept of having to best the pony in a fight, but I would have ended it with the rider and their equestrian friends at a fancy garden horse event in princess dresses and all with missing teeth and black eyes.
The real ending is definitely Shai Hulud-coded for some reason. Your guess is better than anything I’ve come up with.
Oglaf?
Yeah, it’s from the Patreon of the creators of Oglaf (link at top of post). They do a mix of Oglaf and random one-offs like this. There isn’t a better place for them, so I’ve been posting them here
