"More X than you can shake a stick at." is a relatively popular idiom. It can mean a few different things but in the modern sense it more specifically describes something that is in abundance, something you have plenty of.

The original idea of "shaking a stick" has a completely different meaning but I don't wish to bore you with a wall of text trying to sort through it all. This idiom has a strangely tangled history.
A simplified thing is that "originally" "shaking a stick" at someone or something is a threatening gesture or an act of defiance.
It's a little weirder than that but I'm just gonna skip a head in hopes that that makes enough sense.

The basic idea in this comic, at least what I got from it is that the two guys had a lot of strawberries, so many in fact that they had "more strawberries that you can shake a stick at." The other guy in an act of defiance, took it as a challenge and literally shook a stick at the large pile of strawberries. The strawberries, however, grabbed the stick thus making it impossible for him to a shake a stick at them. Cause... y'know, there were so many of them.

I hope this helped a bit.

So it's like "There are more ******* than you can give them the ************ !"?
Because there are way too many black people to challange to flip them off, because they'll outright kill you?
There are more ******* in a black 'hood than you can shake a stick at.
Cuz you dead.

I think I got it.
