This one's hilarious to me. I like to imagine theyve been sitting there for 35 minutes taking notes.

It's a joke of multiple levels too because it implies that they are the ones being studied by others behind the mirror.
Larsen is a genius when it comes to these because he can convey multiple ideas and thoughts in a single image.

Fun fact! One way mirrors are actually bi-directional. You get the one way effect by having one side being much dimmer than the other side.
The same amount of light passes through from each side. But the side that's brighter basically can't see the dim light coming through the mirror from the dim side.
It's like standing outside on a very sunny day, looking inside a building, but just seeing a dark hole in the building... It's so bright, your eyes are adapted for the bright light, so even though you know there's a light on inside the building, you can't see it. Same principle

Thanks, learned something new!

The reflection of the bright space behind the viewer overpowers the image of the dim space on the other side.
This is how it’s not just the “dark hole” effect you’re referring to. It’s a dark hole with a bright image superimposed over it. Your eyes can’t adapt to the dark hole because of the reflected image.

Huh interesting, guess that explains why it's dark in shows lol

It’s funny because the wording implies they’ve been taking observations for a while.
Genius wording on Larson’s part here.

If we’re looking in a mirror, shouldn’t the name on the door be readable?
Unless they’re sitting in the hallway…
