What part of this art is divorced from the punchline? I would agree more with you if you said the art is interchangeable, but what other numerous captions work interchangeably here?
“I guess we’ll see if they still fling their poop.”
Or for some topical flare, how about,
“You sure about this? These guys have a terrible reputation with aliens.”
All of these slightly change the context w/o the need to change the art.
I’m fairly certain a number of these cartoonists either “meal prep” a bunch of illustrations to caption later or maybe even sell the illustrations to the New Yorker who then have writers create the captions. I can’t say but imo it makes for bland cartoons 9 out of 10 times.

“I told you the Humans had tracking devices in those covid vaccines, you’ve led them straight to us!”
“Those earthcakes are kicking in”
“Did you just fart?”
I mean I’m with you for the rest of it, but there’s loads. Im sure a better mind than mine can do better.
“There goes the neighborhood!”

Sure, how about,
“We should have brought a bigger probe.”
Or how about,
“I guess we’ll see if they still fling their poop.”
