Same, or have the background colors be consistent

I think

  1. wants to be on a resort, being taken care of
  2. Wants to be rich and have hair
  3. Person wants to be a robot? Robot wants to be a person? The second one feels more likely because the person looks happier
  4. Standing person wants to be on the computer, because that is who is looking? Or sitting person wants to be done with work, because the standing one is happier?

As art, the comic was effective because I spent a lot of time looking at the relatively simple comic

Yeah, the robot one was what really confused me and I had to go back and look at the first two panels again.

Yeah doesn't help that the background on the first panel is inconsistent with the other 3

Yup. It's the robot who wants to be a human. The mirror could have been a bit more clearly drawn. Thicker border maybe (I'm not an artist so...). I otherwise like the strip.

I figured that out on the second go-around, but I just wasn't sure the first time.

Though, this does actually prompt the idea for a different comic where the punchline is that the side you thought was the mirror is actually the real world.

Not sure if I would agree with this. I don't think you should measure how successful art is by how long you spend looking at it. I'm not even sure if it's something you can measure at all since it's so subjective
