- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

It's a fun comic, but the way it's laid out is kind of confusing (it would have made more sense to me if the fantasy was on the right) and it took me way too long to figure out what 'erised' meant for a four-panel joke.
Same, or have the background colors be consistent
I think
As art, the comic was effective because I spent a lot of time looking at the relatively simple comic
So I was thinking this at first, but then looking at it more, I think it's intentionally not clear. Kind of like a grass is greener situation. The title is also mirror "universe", so it implies that both sides of the reflection exist and are real in their own universes. The implication is that you're never going to be satisfied when you have what you think you want
