Apparently a continuation of comic 150: Grownups, Megan is showing off a blanket fort to her friend Ponytail, who implies that her childishness stems from a fear of growing up.
Megan responds that she's fine with growing up, and that her behavior is actually a mature realization that some things we enjoyed as children are still enjoyable. When pressed for evidence that she has in any way become an "adult", it is revealed that her boyfriend is inside the blanket fort, but not spoken because he fears to be found by them because he's "not exactly dressed," implying "adult" activities had been there.
The title text again plays with the meaning. They built a tree fort in the woods, which is another type of forts that a kid would love to have, but then they used it to hide a body, implied to be someone they have killed, something that it is assumed no kid would do.
Transcript
- [Two girls are talking with each other. There is a fort made of cushions and blankets on the left.]
- Megan: Like my fort? It uses every blanket and cushion in the apartment.
- Ponytail: Okay, no offense, but this is like that ball pit you made -- Cute, but don't you worry you're clinging to childhood games because you're afraid of change?
- Megan: No. I'm happy to grow up. But I won't pretend fun things aren't still fun out of fear of looking silly.
- Ponytail: But you're 24 and building blanket forts. How have you changed? What's adult about that?
- Megan: Well, there's my boyfriend curled up in the back.
- Ponytail: ...Ah.
- Boyfriend [from inside the fort]: Excuse my shyness. I'm not exactly dressed.
