Its just meant to be absurd, I notice a lot of Lemmings digging for a deeper meaning that isn’t there. If that image+caption doesn’t make you grin immediately Farside may just not be your thing.
Honestly? Is it really “digging” to say this is related to the pandemic when a sneeze could kill other people.

It must be about a virus from 32 years after it was printed!
It’s literally titled with today’s date.
Digging would be to read the vertical copyright date of every cartoon, then looking at the cartoon.
I just posted my instant reaction.
Yes, it absolutely is digging. This comic was released way before COVID-19 was a thing. The most recent pandemic was probably Spanish Flu, which was before his time.
Ok, I read the title of the date meaning the release date.
It really isn’t digging though, it’s a pretty obvious interpretation.
