    Same reason most things are funny, or at least mildly amusing: inversion of expectations.

      Maybe your expectations. There was no suspension of plot or conclusion or anything “absurd” about this. It started absurd with the zombie cats and basically didn’t establish anything weirder. The zombie cat under the bed wasn’t even a living cat, which would have added a juxtaposition.

      Not humorous.

        You should know, it is possible that other people find this comic funny even though you don’t. And no matter how much you ‘explain’ why it isn’t humorous, you can’t undo the fact that other some people have found it funny. So then, what do you think people learn from your explanation?; Probably something about you rather than something about the comic.

        “Suspension of plot or conclusion” are not really “things” at all, much less defining characteristics of humor. You just don’t get it, and that’s ok! It doesn’t make you less than or anything.

          Certainly shouldn’t mean people are less than for being amused by it either… O.o
