Disassociation is common in people who have ADHD or autism. It’s marked by an inability to keep yourself in the current situation or in the moment, rather one finds oneself in almost a daydream without being able to control it.
The guy on the left in the first panel was day dreaming of a peaceful day, a long time ago, back when him and his dog were backpacking. One day he took a nap under a tree with his dog. The dog and him heard a faint quack in the distance and his dog stood up straight and spotted a duck on the other side of the stream enjoying its day as well.
Meanwhile back in reality, his girlfriend is upset he is day dreaming instead of listening to her.
I’m an idiot and don’t get it but seems like it’s something clever and funny :(

Also common with folks who have experienced emotional/physical trauma.
I don’t think there’s anything to get here. Looks like an artist’s imagination of a hallucinogenic trip. Just a fun interpretation.
I like your interpretation here is mine:

Weird that your comment got any downvotes
Yeah. I found this very classy. “Your interpretation is cool. Here is mine!”
