I've seen this hypocrisy joke pretty often, but I rather like it. Avery's high-and-mighty post in the final panel is great.
Ozy looks like he's making eyes at him in the second panel, though. That's not so great. >.<

Sadly that's true. Comics will never get the praise they deserve.

I don't remember ever seeing a tilted comic like this...

I find myself staring at the art in this strip and the other ones... it's been so long since I've looked at OM in this style.

I like Ozy's stoned look in panel 2.

The archive copy I have is slanted, too. Its name is different, though – this strip used to be called "A cartoon about cartoons."

(By the way, I found the website I downloaded everything from again. It relocated to this address.)

I think it's supposed to be simply a smug expression, nothing more.

Sadly that's true. Comics will never get the praise they deserve.
Some do and some will, if the praise you mean is by people who work in areas of "high culture" that garner more respect.
Despite the slapstick simplicity of the general premise, it was the detailed characterization, combined with Herriman's visual and verbal creativity, that made Krazy Kat one of the first comics to be widely praised by intellectuals and treated as serious art. Art critic Gilbert Seldes wrote a lengthy panegyric to the strip in 1924, calling it "the most amusing and fantastic and satisfactory work of art produced in America today." Poet E. E. Cummings, as another Herriman admirer, wrote the introduction to the first collection of the strip in book form. Though only a modest success during its initial run, in more recent years, many modern cartoonists have cited Krazy Kat as a major influence.
