George Burns died 27 years ago.
I'm guessing this comic was written before 1996, when George Burns died at ~100 years old... his last movie was in 1994.
This is akin to the Betty White jokes being told up until her recent death.

Come for the comics, stay for the discussions.

Is this a reference to The Simpsons’ “immortal” villain Mr Burns?

No, George Burns was a real comedian (who was really old by 1991).

Born 1896, died 1996 at the ripe old age of 100.
Ended his stage career after a bath injury in 1994. Caught a cold at Frank Sinatra's Christmas party a month before his 100th birthday, and never fully recovered.
