I know they always say "don't explain the joke", but I'll have a shot
at it. It's somewhat like an autopsy though - you find out why it
ticks, but in the process, you prove that it's no longer ticking...

An aside comprehension is a means of generating an aside in-line, as
an expression. In this case, Fabio believes that you were iterating
over the smiley to generate comments about three-liners, and the
square brackets delimit the comprehension just as they do in a list
comprehension.

It's another case of code syntax cropping up in English, like this
example of ternary punctuation from a C++ program...

//TODO?: blah blah blah

That doesn't translate too well into Python though.
