The artist is the joke, and the meme itself is absurd and abstract, it doesn't make the miscarriage itself a joke or even reference it in any way other than the lines on the comic.
Idk maybe bc I'm an elder millennial who was into all these webcomics (PA, Ctrl Alt Del, Vg cats, Mac Hall, Applegeeks) are ones I remember, and Ctrl Alt del always had a reputation for being lower effort, sort of hack like jokes. And it was always known the dude was kind of a dick. And I mean, PA was in hot water for awhile with their cringe dick wolf shit, but they had a more loyal and rabid fan base maybe, and had occasional clever jokes that would make more casual fans overlook their shit takes sometimes.
Like if PA is the straight white dude generic take on gaming, Ctrl Alt Del was like, the off brand cereal version of the white dude generic take. It just wasn't good, and combined that with the dude not knowing how to take any kind of criticism, and it becomes way too easy to poke fun at him. And him getting angry makes it funnier. I dunno.

This is also how I remember it. The comic itself was jarring, but then the dude's reaction + his reputation of being a scrotum scarf made the memes funny.
