      I didn’t get it but I do now.

      Left to right the woman takes the ball from a child and places it up in a tree, and there child cries.

      Right to left, the woman gets a stuck ball from a tree to relieve a crying child.

      But yeah that woman is like 11ft tall, I think.

      American comics read left to right.

      Japanese manga read right to left

        I was about to comment how the bottom pictures are supposed to be the other way around but when I thought about it, it’s correct in the manga spirit.

        Seems a little dramatic to use that ultra baked incredibles picture…

        I’m so stupid. I saw this yesterday and couldn’t wrap my head around it and moved on. Your comment proves my mind has a blind spot.

        Ah I didn’t realize the two on the top were meant to be read together thought it was a side by side

          To be fair it doesn’t look like it was a comic so my brain didn’t go there either.

        Thought this was supposed to be the other way around since the Japanese have Hachishaku-sama.

      If I had to guess, it would be the order in which the top row is read. Left-to-right vs right-to-left.
