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
Same, or have the background colors be consistent
I think
wants to be on a resort, being taken care of
Wants to be rich and have hair
Person wants to be a robot? Robot wants to be a person? The second one feels more likely because the person looks happier
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.
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
So I was thinking this at first, but then looking at it more, I think it's intentionally not clear. Kind of like a grass is greener situation. The title is also mirror "universe", so it implies that both sides of the reflection exist and are real in their own universes. The implication is that you're never going to be satisfied when you have what you think you want
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?
