This bug prevents Comix from displaying thumbnails, but does not cause it to crash on my computer (I am also on Xenial).
It looks like development of Comix has stalled, but the Fedora maintainers have continued to patch it, and have fixed this particular bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1290632 I converted the Fedora .rpm to a .deb with alien, and was able to install it without any complications. After this update, Comix displays thumbnails again. so it should be possible to incorporate the Fedora patches into the Ubuntu package.
