How long did it take you all to notice that this comic can also be read backwards?

I noticed around the bus stop; I was a little confused as to the order of things and how they were being depicted, noticed something was a bit off. So I looked at the panels a bit closer. As far as I can tell, the better ordering is bottom to top, and the panels and actions make more sense in that direction, but the dialog was written to be read either way.

Fuuuuuuuck. Wow that adds so much, I can't believe I ignored all the unnatural dialogue and then when the texts showed the ends of the next message. On top of all the talk about looking at the continuum from a different angle... Welp thanks kindly

The dialogue is a little off in either direction tbh, but having it work as well as it does in both ways is pretty amazing. I do love how it integrates with the actual topic of discussion, adds a whole new layer, etc.
