The joke is that by putting two otherwise ordinary nethack messages next to each other (forgetting for a moment that foocubi don't leave corpses), you can get an entirely different meaning out of one of them.
Before anyone tries/asks, it IS impossible to get a succubus corpse, or a corpse from any other non-corpse-leaving monster, for that matter. Wishing for it will give you a random corpse, you can't get it (or any other corpse, for that matter) from polymorphing food, and casting stone-to-flesh on a statue of a genocided non-corpse-leaving monster will give you a single meatball, not a corpse. (And foocubi can't be genocided in the first place, even in wizard mode.)
And I rate it E' (while it is clearly lacking a footnote...) Again, better a bad strip than no strip. Not everybody may appreciate a strip at the same rate. But I myself LOL at this one...Who knows in advance that a strip will be bad for everybody? a strip with an almost even distribution of rating makes me rerate from G to E....
Quint, if you're still reading, I think I have a better (or worse) answer you. Q: Why is necrophilia funny? A: Because it reminds people of married sex.

Imagine how arousing Dudley must find the rare case of a newt corpse.
And this comic...poor taste.

Good idea (juxtaposing unrelated messages for funny effect).
Bad execution (no succubus corpse, for example. Could have used a nymph corpse).

@jokeserver: don't go there!
