So based on the title of this comic I have a guess. big scar guy represents Sisyphus - he's deemed to work forever in this town but in this case, his "hounds" (=the towns people) are seeing the same or a similar fate. Just like in the mythology, they all escaped death and need to work without an end now. Interesting is the scene where big scar guy carries teacher twink up the mountain - in the greek story Sisyphus is deemed to roll a boulder up on the peak of the mountain forever, there was some parallels but I think it's more related to the moon shaped rock on the other mountain. Big scar guy might roll the moon shaped rock up the mountain everyday. Because he has to work so much, big scar guy is so ripped and has no time for education.
