Explanation
The title of the comic is a reference to GORGEOUS LIFE , the zine in which the comic debuted early.
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 third 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.
