So what you're saying is that it's okay for me to just walk into someone's home, murder the entire family and just live there now because I'm the most violent of all?

You just described colonialism.

That's literally American history.

That's literally most of world history.

Not even limited to humans.

Yup, until the authorities turn up with their monopoly on violence and deprive you of your newly gained property

No one said it was right, just that without violence or the threat thereof, you can't have private property rights

What they're saying is that all rights are derived from force. The state that enforces your rights uses force to do so. This comic is mostly dunking on anarcho capitalists, in that they seemingly believe that property rights are magic.

If they have one home, no.

If they have 100's of homes ....

That's literally how states formed and they consider themselves as legitimate.
