Hm, yeah, it really could be either. I guess this is just something this guy always does whenever there's someone new around... Just his personality! XD
Somewhere on that boat, some guy is gleefully exclaiming "YES I'm not the new guy anymore!"
As a point of critique, the panel flow is a little off. I'm not entirely sure which order the last four panels are supposed to be read because the "Hm" panel is caught between the "fish to water" and "Er...thanks." Although it would cut his legs off, I think the "Er...thanks" panel should have been taller to puts its dialogue before the "Hm."
And thanks for the critique 0w0 Looking at this page again, I can see exactly what you mean. It is a bit of a funny layout, so I'm glad I can bear this in mind for the future. ^u^
