This is allegorical. The Date is God. Instead of revealing Herself directly to mankind, the peanut and raisin (trail mix) by calling, She sends a save-the-date card (the Bible). The last time She appeared, it was to Moses in the guise of a burning bush, hence the trail mix appear as firemen.
The purple one is a prune I think. The card is asking them to save their friend who is a Date stuck in his tree. They are in a fire house so they rescue things like cats and dates from trees!
It is a play on words with pictures added in. This is a graphic representation of a PUN. Are puns overly funny? Not really… but they can be smile inducing, when you see one.
Seems to me the like is the date (a type of fruit) has sent a postcard to save him from being up a tree instead of calling them on the phone. Like if someone has a wedding or something “Save the Date”!!!

I can understand the peanut, but what’s the purple one supposed to be?

Somehow the got the crazy idea that calling someone is rude and you can’t text from a rotary dial phone.
