I like this comic because it highlights my consistent experience with arrogant parents acting as though I’m not truly mature or successful because I haven’t procreated.

That's not what the comic shows at all. It ends with a solitary burned out person pinning for the past.

There is no subtext of alienation or despair in my enjoyment.

Presumably because you're not the one who wrote the cartoon.
