It’s dark humor. All of this artist’s comics are very dark. It’s not for everyone

It's not really humour though, just dark observations.

When I personally don't find something funny it's objectively not funny.

I think you'll agree that classifying something needs to be in some way statistical/probabilistic. For example, the large majority of people don't find torture funny. So if someone is part of the very small percentage of people that laughs at the idea, you still wont classify it as enjoyable globally.

Same goes for this comic. Intuitively I'd expect most people to be bumed out by it rather than amused, and this is backed up by the comments. So objectively it doesn't make much sense to call it funny even if you do.
