Apart from the fact that bubble 1 and 2 point to the wrong person.

I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.

It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.

It definitely landed for me. The aspect of one thread coming out of a totally different routine for no reason was extra funny.

Yes, if you reorder only the text and not the whole bubble it's also correct. =)

Oooh. Thanks for that, makes more sense now.
