I think he’s going for that old-timey cartoon humour… circa 1915, just before Disney. It’s so post-post-post ironic its dialed back to earnest, but not quite.
I thought the “finally” part was cos he’d finally puked and pissed hisself.. like that’s his favorite part of being a bum, when he’s so drunk he just lets loose. it took me way too long to figure out that he’s dead which IS funny however because of the long 10 second road I had to travel to arrive at destination punchline it turned into art instead of a joke, and art is never funny unless unintentionally
the fact that he’s dead is not clear, X’s in the eyes are usually used for “drunked” or “stoned” and the ghostly speech balloon doesn’t cut it. some of the past ones have been good

I don’t understand the joke part of this, is there a joke part to understand or is this just a drawing

He’s dead you idiots. His shitty life is finally over. I thought it was hilarious.
