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.

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
