Is this... an introductory course in relativity, disguised as a joke?

Am I accidentally learning something here?

Not really, relativity plays no role here. It's classical Newtonian physics.

I still count that as learning.

I was more referring to the fact that xkcd's comics have a lot of science in them, rather than the specific type of science
