Does it? I comprehended it just fine without prior knowledge of the quote.

The quote being discussed is not the one in the comic. It's that she Chanel said to take off the last accessory you put on before you go out, basically saying people out too many on. It's still obvious it's against Nazis, in my opinion, but knowing this tells you that they're ignoring her advice because she was wrong about plenty of other things, why should we assume she's right about this?

You can still infer that the Nazi said something similar by looking at their expressions, the way they phrase things, and what they are surprised by.

The blonde is not surprised that the Nazi is quoted as an authority on fashion, but is surprised by the Nazi being a Nazi. The blue-haired person treats the Nazi quote as sufficient evidence to assuage the blonde's doubts.

If anything, you're interpreting this too narrowly. The blonde isn't anxious about the Nazi's opinion, but about the people that will see them at dinner. The comic suggests not just that the Nazi can be disregarded as a Nazi, but that the public perception of fashion is poisoned by Nazi standards and deserves to be defied.

Well it certainly adds dimension to the joke, but I wouldn't say it wholly encompasses it.

It's the whole point of the joke... "Nazi bad" is not funny by itself.
