Why did this comic make me look at panel 4 before panel 3?
I think it’s the use of color. The snakes really stand out because they’re green and the rest of the colors are very muted.
The first two panels establish a pattern that your brain subconsciously keys in on. At a glance even without registering the specific images and text, your brain instantly knows that panel 3 doesn’t fit in the pattern.
Honestly, it works better with the two panels swapped.
I agree. Maybe the creator was betting people would see it in the weird order
Same, I think it’s just too exciting to ignore
All of the reasons already mentioned, but also, your brain is hardwired to pay more attention to a face, and to a face expressing emotion even more in particular.
ELI5 why there would be a space suit completely without any snakes in it whatsoever. Doesn’t make any sense!
Obviously because DNC corruption Bernie Sanders price of eggs.
Don’t be xenophobic! Non-deadly snakes are still snakes.
The other suit might still have a few deadly snakes without being full of them, and we don’t know how many harmless snakes (or anything else) are there.
Nobody:

Why do we even have this space suit!?
Because you didn’t read!
