I'll be honest, I didn't get it.
Is it funny because the viewer and gopher expect the fun to be used on the gopher, but the person kills themselves instead, which is unexpected?

It's one of the earlier comics, and is simple dark humor. Instead of continuing a presumed rivalry full of hijinks, traumatize the gopher. Kind of like if Elmer Fudd did that with Bugs Bunny or something.

An episode of Loonie Tunes where both Elmer just fucking offs himself and Bugs and Daffy are just in shock; the cartoon concludes on a somber "That's all... folks."
