In a way, I have to say that a person who "teaches the controversy" is worse than a person who espouses that all of evolution is a sham.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on. Just because someone can teach it from an unbiased stance doesn't mean they don't have an opinion.
If you think both sides are equal, regardless of the merit of their respective arguments, than you're not unbiased. You're just noncommittal.
That said, I don't find this comic funny. The joke was obvious from the second panel and was carried on way too long.
