    I know what the marshmallow test is; I don’t get the joke in the comic. It depicts one of the kids who didn’t wait. Where’s the joke?

      I think it’s that he waited 5 seconds and got zero marshmellows?

      Or he ate it already between the 2nd and 3rd panel, and is demanding the second one?

        I didn’t get it til another poster pointed it out – instead of the kid eating the marshmallow, the marshmallow is biting the kid’s arm.

        I glanced over the comic a couple times, and each time I saw the kid tossing the marshmallow in the air as if to catch it in his mouth.
