The structure of this feels off, the punchline already happened in panel two and the text in panel three isn’t adding anything. A panel 3 without text would be funnier imo because it would let the joke soak, I also think moving the punchline to panel 3 would have worked better.

I think the punchline is him opening the vat so it can kill humanz and solve the climate crisis, without the third one it could just be him inventing random stuff/wasting money (I only got the joke on panel 3)

Why does he look sad and say “you can go”

Instead of “Precisely! Spring Terror!” Or something like that?

Is he looking sad?

He seems to be looking down and speaking into a microphone.

Oh I guess I missed the joke, then. I thought it was a bit of a non-sequitur. I think I still prefer my version

Overanalyzing a comic. Why do I even bother reading lemmy comments?
