1: [Blue background. A slightly overweight white man wears a camo bullet proof vest over a black t-shirt. He has a black baseball cap on his head and wears a red bandana over his nose and mouth. He wears a menacing expression on his face.]

Guy: I’m a Proud Boy and I will never stop fighting for true manliness!

2: [Pink background. The Proud Boy now twiddles his fingers, with an abashed expression on his face. His eyes are drawn in an anime style with an anime blush across his nose and cheeks.]

Guy: But I also gotta hide my face because I’m a widdle soft-as-baby-shit chicken.

You realize humor isn't always the point, right? Relatability is one of the biggest reasons people read comics like Garfield. It's not funny that he hates Mondays, it's relatable. It's human to seek that kind of connection. People often enjoy reading Garfield comics because we enjoy finding validation of our desire to be lazy. That being said, they can also be hilarious; I remember rereading this one all the time as a kid, and just dying of laughter.

I'm not super familiar with this comic's artist, but I can see why you compared them to Garfield - this comic clearly isn't trying to be funny so much as it's trying to connect with the reader about our shared frustrations with the state of the world. It reminds us that, while the world is stacked against us, we still have like-minded people to turn to for support. It's nice to see that.
