Could you maybe please explain for those of us who only get half (or none) of it?

That's the half I picked up on, but based on the other comments, it seems like there's something else that I'm missing.

The pipe comic with Garfield was also likely referencing a famous Magritte painting.

The painting is a kind of play on self-reference

Meme-ception for sure
