Read this one and think.

Maybe it made you laugh, maybe not. I don't know. What is the comic telling us - if anything? Can comics even BE lessons in life that we can learn from, or are they just cliches masquerading as profound wisdoms? (FoxTrot comes to mind here as one comic that serves conservative family values in graphic form.)
Did the author mean anything special when he wrote and drew this strip? If so, what was it? Did he mean for us readers to stop for a moment and think, or did he just try to extract a quick laugh out of us?
Who can say for real, maybe I am the cliche here, and the comics of the world just that; comics.
Then, there are ones that are just plain funny... http://sinfest.net/d/20001018.html
(Or maybe there is a message for each and every one of us in everything, if we just let ourselves see it. What you see isn't neccessarily what I see. What you see I might find pointless, but to you it is the answer to life, the universe and everything.  )

Pretty damned funny, but I'm not sure they mean anything, though.
Think good thoughts,

I think that the meanings in anything we see or read like this can well have many faces, depending on our mood, our current situation and life experience, as well as whatever the author may have had in mind.
But as a writer (yup, and going to be writing again soon, folks...) I always find that readers find helpful insights in things, whether I have intended them or not.
Anybody else find that to be the case?
