I learned the difference in those words by remembering "nobody wants extra desert but they do want extra dessert, so that's why one has more letter S's in it." Yes, this comic is a play on how desert (the dry wasteland) and dessert (sweets after a meal) are spelled very similarly. I would look up why that is, but I want to play a new co-op computer game (Overcooked) so I'll delay that research for another time (if ever).
Extra: is this a deleted scene from the 1998 tv show Young Hercules? Maybe? That show was on my mind when I went down a rabbit trail about shepherd's pie for St. Pat's day (there's an episode I recall from my childhood about the guys running the inn for a day and they only know how to make one thing so that's what they recommend to everyone and I erroneously thought it was shepherd's pie but it's actually chicken salad).
