It's a joke about checkers. When you get a piece to the end of the board, that piece gets "kinged" by placing a second piece on top of it, usually one you've lost during the game. (That piece can then move both forwards and backwards.)

I can't help but feel I would have enjoyed this so much more if he asked to be turned into a queen and then told all the enemies to sashay away.

I was confused reading that comic, because in French checkers is called "dames".

So yeah, even in that game, the guy would barge in and command you to "lady" him.
