It's hard to tell what to even make of this.
For characters that don't speak; body language and facial expressions are the only way they can communicate to the audience.
The only emotion I read is that the red stick is sad on panel 5. And the only body language I can read is on panel four the yellow stick is running but there's no context to why.
The posing is just them standing casually with a poker face. I quite frankly can't read anything that's going on in their heads.
The last two panels yellow stick is back? Or is it another character? It's really to hard to tell since he's so off model.
The art style is a refreshing trip back to like the Atari or 8bit consoles just higher rez. So it has that much appeal.
I'm guessing due to the length this is supposed to be a gag comic?

Here's the basics of comedy completely on the house.
Every joke consists of two major parts.
1. the set up: the showing or telling a brief relatable story to give the audience a sense of context.
Example:Yellow stick man is trying to lift a fridge, he sees red stick man and waves hi to get his attention, yellow points toward the fridge and makes a lifting gesture toward red...
This sets up that the yellow stick man needs help to move a fridge a relatable story anyone has probably encountered or have at least seen, this builds up tension because we expect the red stick to help him but will he?
2. the punchline: a surprise turn away from what's expected to something's that's related but not obvious.
Example continued: the red stick man sees the yellow, in return red stick man nods his head with a reassuring expression on his face, and steps next to the yellow stick man, but instead the red man lifts the yellow stick man instead of lifting the fridge.
This pretty much surprises the audience because the red stick appears to get his message but it turns out it was a misunderstanding. He lifts the yellow stick which is related to the situation but nobody expected that.
That's the simple bait and switch. Lot's of classic cartoons used that like the Looney Tunes running into a 2d painting of a tunnel on the wall, or running off a cliff just to not fall off.
