That’s because he killed death with pills, apparently, and now he became death himself, as it can be noticed by black clothes in last panel. And it is hard and ungrateful work to be a death. Why would he be happy?

The comic is about depression, not death.

He doesn't look happy because the medication doesn't magically cure him.

All they do is temporarily quench the longing to die. At least sometimes. The other times they just help you to fall asleep before you fall apart.
