I'd anything this just provided me with a well worded explanation for why I don't like it:

It’s zany but not fun, there’s no joke, just “Here’s a thing, and here’s another thing, these two things don’t normally go together, but here they are together, isn’t that funny?”

His upbringing?

His parents are in jail! I assume his mom is there on prostitution charges

This was funnier than any heathcliff comic I've seen so far

The fact that we have no idea why Iggy lives with his grandparents has caused a lot of speculation. And it's not even a NAPG thing. It goes back to the beginning in the 70s. Back when a kid living with their grandparents usually meant prison or death took the parents out of the picture.
