This strip really does a good job of illustrating the mood of the times; having to accept the unacceptable as an every day fact of life, doing our everyday thing while being directly connected to horrific events by our smart phones and governments, and the feeling that the irrational is just around the corner, hiding inside “normalcy”.

The last two panels got me, because of their switch.
This story has good timing, similar to a good joke: show an unusual situation, repeat it several times and then do the unexpected/opposite.
I think you're right, the ironic twist at the end is related to the punch line of a good joke. Thanks for the comment.
