It’s a pun on desert/dessert. At first you think they’re in a desert and the character pronounced it wrong/author spelled it wrong, but the final panel reveals that it was accurate and they’re on top of a large dessert, which is possibly also a desert as well
I’m choosing to read it as a food desert. Because they’re fat, and that Nunez clearly has a mouth full of cake icing (doesn’t look like they died of hunger, maybe thurst?). So they probably know there’s lots of dessert. Plus they can see the desserts.

looks like they got there, just desserts….
They were there, in the desert of desserts, where they got their just desserts.
If it’s very dry and not much vegetation, that’s a desert.

So could be about food deserts.
