Random aside, I'm getting really tired of web "comics" where the "artist" doesn't do shit except put speech balloons onto the same images over and over.
If you are reading this in the future, and don't get the joke let me explain things for you. In 2011 people didn't change their name to Star Trek Captains when they got married - indeed, this was the comic that started the trend!
Narrative:
“Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?”
How often do you watch Mid-Life Crisis Movies like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan?

So, the amount of effort involved in a work's creation determines if it's art or not?

Not exactly.
I wouldn't classify that comic as art though, but for different reasons. Of course, it doesn't help that I don't generally consider that particular comic to be funny.
The reason that bothers me is that it's really just like, a blog post, or even just a tweet or facebook post, but by putting it in speech balloons it's a "comic"?
It doesn't even really put the graphic medium to use - it's just leaves with static lobsters, there's no movement, no expression of emotion, it literally serves no purpose other than two establish two interlocutors and arrange their conversation in time. Things that can be easily done in prose, or by the conventions of written plays. If you're going to bother to make a comic, I think you should actually have a use for the graphic medium, otherwise what's the point?
And I don't think he's trying to make a postmodern commentary on the conventions of the comic genre, I think he's just lazy and untalented (at least, in any area that would make him able to make his comics visually interesting).
