    Me here trying to figure out the significance of the characters changing looks dramatically in the 4th and 5th panels.

      The characters were drawn in a more stylized way in order to add some levity to the punchline panels. You’ll find a similar technique in anime when the characters become chibi during comedic scenes. This emphasizes the idea that a scene shouldn’t be taken seriously.

      The artist probably could’ve gone further with the stylization here to drive the point in harder. Right now it looks more “unfinished” than an obvious style change for comedic effect.
