Aristarchus of Samos, an ancient Greek astronomer who lived circa 310–230 BCE, proved that the sun is far away and the rays are nearly parallel. So your comic proves the earth isn't flat.
All the observations of Aristarchus of Samos also works if you assume that the sun is small and local. So as usual, nothing proved there.
Edit: Made a little drawing of what Aristarchus could have been observing.
