It's a Titan of Ark. See 1:1 for example. (These boards apparently have a page:panel shorthand now.)

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense, really.

But why do the Titans of Ark look like stylized pictures of Elvis?

It's probably a room for Stanley's chief warlord, probably decorated by the last one... still love the Gwiffen on the wall

Because the comic's creator likes Elvis. And it's funny. And they have to look like *something*.

I'm pretty sure it's a velvet painting, by the way, not just a picture. There's fringe on the bottom of it!

It's a Titan of Ark. You know, one of those ugly giant Elvises.

Personally, I believe that Erfworld is the Stupidworld here, not Earth.
