Comic #662: 7th World Problems (Patreon)

I was so close to removing a panel on this one. I struggled between three options: the current version, a version without the final panel, and the version below combining panels 3 and 4:

In the end, I really just liked the pacing of the joke better in the final version. With the final panel removed, it's very hard for me to gauge how someone will receive the punchline. With how busy the final panel is, the punchline becomes diluted amongst all the tooltips.

I think ultimately it just comes down to preference.
