    “service of legal process” is the formal delivery of court papers to someone involved in a lawsuit by a neutral third party (a process server). The comic depicts an initial service of process, which is when the defendant typically first learns about the lawsuit.

    So it’s a joke playing off of “getting served” legal papers, combined with the slang Mojave discussed in detail in another reply.
