I don’t think it really requires that much effort to understand “girl boring, guy quirky,” and it is a perfectly valid and obvious reading of the comic, though obviously it doesn’t make that case explicitly, which is why I brought up the meme, which is itself a reference to a large body of work.
Your assertion that panel is 3 is somehow “interesting” really doesn’t make any sense to me, but someone did introduce an alternate explanation of “girl thinks guys are always thinking about sex” which makes it a little different than the girl boring, guy quirky. THe problem is that her expression is really hard to read one way or the other.
But it does take effort to put ourselves in your mind where you think “girl boring, guy quirky” applies to this comic. This is what I’m still trying to understand. I’ve set out in some detail why I don’t think it applies which you’ve not engaged with at all (other than to re-assert that yours is a “perfectly valid and obvious reading” which, just to be clear, doesn’t explain why) so bye.
