This artist just wanted to get their thoughts about boogers out in the public discourse, and the comic with a punchline was just an attempt to make it less weird. Change my mind.
That’s not particularly exclusive to comics. Jokes in general are infinitely re-hashable, which is fine as long as the comedian puts in the effort to make it their own and doesn’t just steal the joke and try to pass it off as their own.

It’s a joke older than the internet, it’s not the author’s own thoughts about boogers, it’s someone else’s that they just used in a comic format.
Most comics being created today are simply recreations of old jokes or memes

And that’s exactly what I don’t see in most comics :(
It could have been a two panel comic.
Even a single panel.
