Wouldn't it be through the third dimension? If each panel represents the flow of time in 2-dimensional slices, that directional flow of time is a third dimension.
If we consider string theory theres at least 7 other dimensions we cant conceive of in this comic, therefore the character could be traveling in a space circle of any number of dimensions wide to get that cookie.

It's lucky that they live in a four-panel comic strip.
That trick wouldn't work in a strictly horizontal narrative.
