Fair. How do you interpret the mimics of something that has no face?

So I took the approach of "looks emotionless at green guy" as in "is unsure about what to make of this situation" and therefore "is confused / thinking about an approach".

His pointing finger is also pointing lower than in the panel before, as in "loses tension" as in "is not pointing anymore but just left in the previous position" therefore the mental focus changed from pointing at / highlighting something to a different aspect, which, in combination with the first paragraph, makes me interpret the panel as "confused / distracted"

Good catch on the finger difference. That's a subtle detail. I'd say your interpretation is a good one, albeit subjective because of the part about being "emotionless." Intuition and inference are not absolutes, and at this point I'm really just being difficult for the sake of the argument. :P

(Notice in the first panel that two of the green guy's fingers are orange? What's up with that?)

Yeah, I noticed that, it's not too uncommon for these small errors to sneak in ¯\(ツ)/¯ but the intention of the comic should work
