It looks great. I think you are channeling a parody there. I saw the post elsewhere and laughed.
Now if this has been borrowed or produced by someone else, take it down. The main thing to be careful of is the incorporation of other people's work with your own. Very few licenses include the "derivative" usage in which you may derive a new image from their work.
So if it's at all derived from someone else's work, be careful to look at licenses.
But when you create a parody, most of the time you have decades of "fair use" court rulings on your side. I am thinking of US jurisprudence. When posting here from another country... I don't know.
Parodies and comedy sketches, when they incorporate copyrighted material, are usually safe. But the sad thing is that courts (and lawyer fees) can get involved. Here in the US and most of the West, making fun of a major political figure is widely construed as legal and common. It is a pillar of free speech to lampoon political matters, so to criticize that cartoon, a lawsuit would need to resort to claiming an egregious error in decency or fraud to attack it.
Derivative works need to be licensed unless the derivative work is a parody or commercially worthless commentary on the original work.
So the rules are the same for everyone (n.b. they are in the same locale).
But if you derive a work from Coca-cola's logo ... and you are a soft drink manufacturer trying to mimic them for gain, you are going to be pilloried in court.
If you derive your work from Coca-cola's logo and you are making fun of the product or the logo or the company, whether you manufacture soda or not... it is legal to do so under fair use. (No competitor in their right mind would attempt it due to court battles, but they should theoretically win.)

Not my post, image or parody, @uruiamme to take down. 😊
Is one man's fair use is another business' derived content?
No.
