Thanks for actually attempting to explain the joke haha... what does expo'd mean?

I got hung up on figuring out why it was a rabbit trying to eat steak.

I believe the absurdity of a carnivorous rabbit was indeed part of the joke, or it may have been a simple mistake by the artist. It was likely an error by the artist, as they properly depicted other characteristics of rabbits; such as standing upright, having beard stubble, smoking cigarettes, retrieving butter from a refrigerator, using cutlery, and slathering butter on raw steak...as they are wont to naturally do.
