Okay, I’ve just discovered this comic and, although I love it, I’ve read about 10 comments by people who have to write something to prove they got the joke. Yes, you greasy cock, it is a reference to “Metamorphosis”.
Metamporphosis? I’m aussuming we’re talking about the novella? First published in 1915? By Franz Kafka? Born 3 July, 1883 in Prague to a middle-class Jewish family in Prague, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic)? His father, Hermann Kafka (1852–1931), was described as a “huge, selfish, overbearing businessman”[2] and by Kafka himself as “a true Kafka in strength, health, appetite, loudness of voice, eloquence, self-satisfaction, worldly dominance, endurance, presence of mind, [and] knowledge of human nature”.[3] Hermann was the fourth child of Jacob Kafka, a shochet, and came to Prague etc
I wheezed aloud while reading this. It’s like laughing but with more painful contraction around the diaphragm. Asthma, maybe? NO, IT IS THE HUMOR OF THE GIANT BUGGGGGG

For those of you who don’t realize I believe that the last panel is a reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.

I think thats a good reason to wake up too.
You get a literary reference in the punchline of a comic? you must feel really smart.
