They changed the comic to point out veganism being a meaningful change compared to meatless Monday. While I agree it doesn't fit the context or intent of the comics original message, they aren't wrong. Like it or not at some point we all need to acknowledge that animal agriculture is one of the worst things we do to this planet. All they did was point that out and suggest that hey, maybe we should not do that.
The only attack is your reply. They didn't call you out as a self important, smug carnivore who huffs pig farts. It sounds more like you're being defensive at the notion that something you do has a negative impact, and it's easier to go "vegans preachy radical ideology, hurr durrr mah bacon!" than it is to confront the inconvenience that there are very real and surprisingly easy things you can do to bring about actual change in the world.
Thin sliced tofu, fried crispy in a skillet, tablespoon of both maple syrup and soy sauce, and a few drops of liquid smoke. I call it tofakeun. Seriously, try it.
