The image is a black-and-white cartoon depicting an educational scene where a teacher is explaining something about a diagram on the board to a group of students sitting in rows.

1. **Teacher**: The teacher stands at the front, gesturing towards the board with one hand while holding what appears to be a pointer or stick in the other. The teacher has short hair and wears a patterned top that resembles a vest over a shirt. Their posture suggests they are actively engaged in teaching.

2. **Students**: There is a row of students sitting on benches, facing the teacher. Each student's head is visible from above, with their hair drawn as simple shapes. The students appear to be listening attentively to the teacher’s explanation.

3. **Board and Diagram**: On the board, there are two main elements:
   - A large diagram that looks like a cross-section of an animal or possibly a fossilized creature. It has several vertical lines extending from it, which could represent bones.
   - The text at the bottom of the image identifies one part of this diagram as "the thagomizer," named after Thag Simmons.

4. **Text**: At the very bottom of the image is a caption that reads: “Now this end is called the thagomizer...after the late Thag Simmons.” This indicates that the teacher is explaining something specific about the diagram, referencing an individual by name and attributing it to them.

The overall setting suggests a classroom environment where the teacher is providing an educational lesson. The focus of the image seems to be on teaching students about this particular term or concept related to the diagram shown on the board.
