The comic is about RAM, not storage. The 2600 was unique in that it had no RAM and needed to process everything in-between each scan line on the same chip.

Technically it did have RAM but only 128 bytes used for the call stack but no frame buffer. The cartridges could include more RAM if needed in addition to the ROM.
