Hard disagree. The comic is best suited for complaining about current trends because current trends are simple enough to poke fun of in comic format. The biggest problem with the comic is when it tries to introduce a philosopher or concept and dunk on them/it in the same comic, which is inevitably reductionist and a bad habit.
It was good when it showed philosophers arguing about things, showing their unique perspectives. It was funny and you learned something. Now it just seems like the author's personal bitch session. Enough of those already, thanks.
Really no way to talk about the modern use of stoicism and try to be funny without griping. Also, modern stoicism is so cringe it needs unlimited dunks.
I follow their twitter (though I basically never check at all), and they definitely have some good takes. I think they probably are a communist. I just searched "@existentialcoms China" and the first few takes that showed up are all fine as are the most recent tweets they've had.
This started off as a good comic, but seems to have devolved into the writer's complaints about modernity.

yeah, this has the same vibes as what it would be like to show Jesus his biggest fans

Nah it actually rules
Have you tried being more Stoic about it

modern stoics aren't stoics the same way the guy selling you meditation techniques to more effectively telemarket isn't a buddhist
Modern stoics are still drawing from stoicism, and need to be compared unfavorably to it.
Are you complaining about this comic strip in particular, or the comic as a whole?
Yes.

They usually always show Marx in a good light so I think they’re a comrade.
