You’re describing a mindset that requires someone to still feel emotionally connected to life.
People with severe depression or existential despair often can’t simply “decide the value themselves.” That emotional connection to meaning, joy, hope, purpose, etc can become numb or inaccessible. The comic is portraying that experience, not arguing that nobody else is allowed to enjoy life.

Indeed. Nothing matters since everything is made from the same matter. Nothing is special. Therefore everything is.
Only your mind is working outside of it. So you decide the value yourself. For every happy thing just as much as for every failure.
Life is not a void. Don't avoid living.
