That I understand, but how did the conversion from a four-tile comic to a four-tile image with just lines for the persons in the comic came to pass? Did someone try to create an ultra-minimalist version of that comic, or what?

It’s a form of mild trolling, there is not much more to it. The meme originates from a comic but this is completely irrelevant.

When you spend a sufficient amount of time in a community, the inside jokes became more and more obtuse. A lot of jokes will be derivative of some derivative of a derivative of a joke. Logically explaining a joke will never be funny.
This happens with my wife all the time, I show her a meme and she doesn’t get it. When I start explaining it, it becomes clear you need to have seen the evolution of a number of bits of media to put together into this “3rd level derivative” joke.
So in conclusion, yeah this joke might never be funny for you. The link might give you a logical explanation to understand in the future. Just accept it’s an inside joke that’s not for you, and that’s ok.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t get it

So basically just intellectual masturbation?
