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?

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.

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
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.
Same, or have the background colors be consistent

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