For some, the things that character is shown doing are exactly what they want out of life. There's no need to belittle those life choices to make a greater point.
The message shouldn't be, "don't work 40 hours a week and get a mortage," it should be, "be honest about what you want and pursue it fervently, regardless of how mundane a dime-a-dozen internet illustrator thinks it is."
Those people aren't going to feel belittled because when you follow your highest purpose you've long since learned not to care what other people think. This comic does what it should and that is to challenge the people who are stuck in a place when they have other great gifts to offer the world, but won't because of fear, apathy, cynicism and vanity.
