The first two panel are a joke; an old joke, but still a joke. I don’t get that third panel.

Note the title of this particular comic. There’s zero effort to actually place this in a Star Wars setting, just an ancient joke and the blunt statement. You have to remember that Super-Fun-Pak Comix are parodies. The target here is legacy/zombie comics that make half-assed efforts to appear modern.
Yes. Also the endless number of TV series, books, movies, and paraphernalia spawned by Star Wars, from the Christmas Special to Andor.
The alternate version of the old, old joke would be:
Attractive woman: Thanks but no, I’ve got to watch my figure.
Woolfsh guy: Oh, I’d be happy to watch it for you!
Additionally, Axnon Duul is itself a more print-safe version of Glup Shitto, a parody of Star Wars names.
I think this is poking fun of the fact that sometimes in “Star Wars” movies/shows it’s not always clear that you’re watching Star Wars.
For example, you might be watching someone interrogating a chef in an Italian restaurant and wondering, “Is this The Sopranos?” But no, you’re watching “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.” (The fact that the chef is a big purple alien from outer space should tip you off.)
So, be sure to pay attention to the skin color of the chef — or maybe the dialogue that mentions something Star-Wars-ish — or else you might forget that the scene you’re watching/reading is part of the Star Wars franchise.
That’s what this cartoon is doing; it’s reminding us that it takes place in the Star Wars universe, no matter how banal it may look.
My interpretation was that the (fictional) cartoonist who does the Axnon Duul strip (not Ruben Bolling, but a hypothetical person) doesn’t know much, or doesn’t care much, about Star Wars, and so he has decided to devote the strip to gags, but continues to mention Star Wars so he can keep the job.
I’m waiting for a Star Wars Story for every background character.
