(SPOILER ALERT): Each one is better than the last. The first one is a classic absurdist Larson punchline, but you can tell he's still getting used to his digital tools. Feels like it would have looked better as one of his classic ink drawings. The second one is really funny, and the picture itself is beautiful. I feel like you could frame it as art, -it feels very atmospheric, alive, and "now". Actually like it better than a lot of his ink drawings. The third one initially hit me as the least funny because instead of a caption beneath the frame, there is a title, which kills the joke. If you just look at the scene ignoring the words beneath and it hits you what they're doing, that is downright hilarious, but it's supposed to dawn on you as you view it, -you shouldn't read it in the title. Ended up being funniest by far.
