I hate to say it, but I don't understand the last frame. Or is that the

Yup, you nailed it. His last frame is himself being taunted by his
characters. Usually with a baseball bat. For example:

Yes, it's the cartoonist. Stephan Pastis often sets up convoluted puns
which result in the characters berating him. Or in Rat's case using an
attitude adjustment bat.

In the past, he has had a fictionalized version of himself in regular
strips. One arc had him thrown out of the house by his wife. Some were
surprised later to find out it didn't happen in real life.
