It's a fun comic, but the way it's laid out is kind of confusing (it would have made more sense to me if the fantasy was on the right) and it took me way too long to figure out what 'erised' meant for a four-panel joke.
Erised is from Harry Potter. But apart from that I agree, this is a super confusing comic and I'm still not sure where the joke in the last panel is
Bro just wants to be on his computer
Dude with the computer doesn't look that happy though
It's his deepest inner wish, he's focusing on that Mongolia -> Yuan -> France -> Moon Empire -> Galactic Conquerors Eu4 galactic conquest speedrun, pre 1445
Being always visibly happy sounds annoying.
That's beacuse he just fixed a bug, and now there are 255 bugs.
Same, or have the background colors be consistent
I think
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
Loss
Posting each panel separately is a neat idea
this thing is ripe for bone hurting, is there a bone hurting juice community
Please tell me if you find one
What's that guy's junk drinking? Is it a cocktail?
