Not really. To explain the joke, it's based off the Japanese fairytale "The Crane Returns the Favor" which goes like this: hunter frees a crane caught in a trap, several years later he meets a beautiful lady who becomes his wife, she creates beautiful feather cloaks to help raise money but tells the hunter not to look in while she works, hunter becomes curious to see how she works so fast and peeks into her workshop and sees not his wife but a crane plucking out her feathers to weave into cloaks (the same crane he saved all those years ago). The crane, ashamed her secret's been exposed, flies off never to be seen again.
This comic is basically parodying that instead of the crane making feather cloaks, she's torturing some poor schmuck.
