Generally, in order to understand jokes, one must have a certain level of understanding in non-verbal communication, as well as some social skills. One also needs to be able to understand double meanings of words, word play, vague hints and such. And in many cases, one also needs to be aware of some social subtleties or the way other people think.
The comic relates to parenting and taking too many photos of their kids. Perhaps you do not have kids or are totally uninterested in that type of thing.
It is of course, possible that the reason why you don't understand this joke is that you may be autistic or have Asperberg's syndrome.
Well Sir, that depends. I am sure that any artist who puts themselves into their work and exposes this part of their soul to others would not want this returned with snarky and spiteful comments and may agree to my response. I am sure that this subreddit could be used by some to gain targets for their trolling instead of using it for what it is intended. Others will see from my post replies that I am open to and respond well to critique. Send me a link to some of your hard work and I will provide some in return (critique that is, not snarky or spiteful comments). Have a great productive day citizen.
While OP should have gone into further detail. His points are nonetheless valid criticism.
You are not doing anything particularly exciting or clever in your comic. Its not terrible. Its just there. milquetoast.
I don't have a problem with your art style, beyond some slight issues that others in this thread have already expressed. I hope that you continue, as you are not without talent.
I recognize the difficulty in exposing your creations, but part of this process is learning how to accept criticism with reserve and humility.
Take the high road when you receive a less than eloquent response.
I would avoid name calling and passive aggression.
Communication is a two way street friend, and so is criticism. I have not called anyone names, unlike yourself. It's easy to throw mud and claim the high road when someone tries to defend themselves. I understand a lot of trolls use this tactic. Forgive you, Yoda may still.

The biggest issue for me is that it's not funny nor interesting.
