For this comic by Stik it probably helps to know that in England GPS is called "Sat Nav", obviously short for satellite navigation. I'll guess the British, and most of Europe, call it Sat Nav instead of GPS because GPS probably refers specifically to the US-named-owned-and-operated GPS system, as opposed to the EU's Galileo system. And, as the quote attributed to Winston Churchill states: "Americans and British are one people separated only by a common language".
By the way, I didn't quite get this one at first since I didn't initially identify the insects and didn't understand what the problem was with them being at the flower. Shouldn't insects want to be at a flower? I figured the animal in the background was just there for random background. However I'm thinking that the animal is there as the place where these flies intended to go and they missed their mark. Of course, can't the flies see the animal butt and get themselves over to it without much trouble?
Just in case you ever come across a comic that makes no sense to you, try submitting it to the great Comics I Don't Understand blog, where a large host of comics afficionados will be happy to provide explanations (which may or may not be helpful, but at least a few will probably be funnier than the comic posted).
