The underlying message of this comic strip is that when two people fall in love, they should stay together for the rest of their lives. The author is very subtly trying to point out the on-again-off-again ideas of romance in society, how people get married because they think they are in love but really don't know what love is. The author wants people who are in love to stay in love forever, like the penguins do.
The artist revels this by using logos, playing on logic. The first character recites knowledge that they have attained in order to drop a hint on the second character. The second character ponders this then uses the same knowledge to ask the first character out. The artist uses pathos here, because the reader has an automatic response of squealing because it is sweet enough to give them cavities. It's adorable and even the coldest heart would agree.
