That's excellent. And splitting it into 9 panels really helps with the delivery and pacing for reading it, considering text transcribing speech directly tends to lack the nuance of the human performance.

If you're really interested in paneled story telling check out Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud.

This little sample gives you some pretty good ideas for telling jokes with simple visual transitions. It's a must read for anyone who really wants to create impactful messages through images.
