    I a little bit missed being befuddled by these well drawn but punchless comics. It’s like a comedic situation, but it never resolves and just settles back into being a situation.

      I think the joke is “You should restrain your emotions when you’re miserable. Otherwise you’re weird, whiny and annoying.”

      These comics do have a punch, its just that its pointed at a different direction that you (and me) would probably find agreeable.

      And writing the action instead of showing, which it basically is doing. It would probably be punchier with a slightly different arrangement of first panel old man says something off screen, panel 2 is horrified close up, third and fourth panel show the slow reversing character.
