Explanation
The initial comic is a take on the phrase "(as easy as) taking candy from a baby", meaning "very easy" - presumably because it's not difficult to rip the candy out of a baby's hand, and it wouldn't be able to take it back. In this case, a person tries to take candy from a baby by appealing to its conscience; this does not work, as the baby does not seem to understand their pleas.
The bonus comic is a play on the phrase "guilty pleasure". A person wants to be put in jail; when asked whether they're guilty they reply that they're "guilty pleasure".
In the bonus bonus comic, the speaker says that they have cast a spell on one of the people who are listening, but is "not gonna name names"; they then immediately list off an identifying feature of the spell-bearer ("he has a dumb hat") that only one person in the room has, thus effectively naming them.
Transcript
First comic
Panel 1: A person is seen crying and covering their eyes above a baby carrier with a red lollipop attached to it. A speech bubble is coming from the person: "one candy. ONE candy is all I ask and you cant even give that."
Panel 2: We see the baby in the baby carrier, with the red lollipop. It has a flat expression and is staring in the direction of the person.
Second comic
Labeled as bonus comic. Two people are standing next to each other: person 1 has big cartoony eyes and is sticking out their tongue, and person 2 has black hair, triangular-shaped eyes and a grin.
Person 1: "Please put me in jail"
Person 2: "Are you guilty?"
Person 1: "Yes! i am guilty pleasure"
Third comic
Labeled as bonus bonus comic. The background is gray. There is a banner with the letters AA hanging on the side. Multiple people are sitting in a circle; to the very right is a person wearing a top hat, next to them is a person standing up and holding a microphone, and to the very left is a person with long eyelashes.
Person with the microphone: "Not gonna name names but I just cast a spell on one of you"
Person with the microphone: "He has a dumb hat*"
Text below the comic reads: "*Not because of the spell."
