    Both versions of the comic articulate that. So not sure what you're talking about. It being that spelled out and on the nose is boring. The awkward silence in the last panel is much more effective and funnier imo.

    Well, I didn't catch that because I'm bad with social cues

    If it makes you feel better I'm in the same boat, I needed to see the original to be sure what was being implied. Still funny though.

    Seriously why is it so hard for comic makers to not day anything

    Both are good although I like the first one a bit more

    At risk of sounding pretentious, the emphasized silence in the first one hits so much harder than the thought-bubble in the second one. They aren't saying anything in either one, but the fact that the first one emphasizes that everyone went dead-silent afterwards is objectively hilarious.
