The first two panels here are really top-notch. An excellent balance of thoughtfulness and humor. Bello's question in panel 3 continues this, but the plant's reply is less satisfying. Bello's utterance in panel 4 is still good, but the plant's final reply, while a decent joke, is a little out-of-tune with the other 3 panels.

Bello seems to be talking about something existential / emotional, while the plant isn't really reacting to this in an interesting way.
maybe the point is that the plant and Bello are talking past each other? (i.e. Bello's trying to "reach out" and the plant's not picking up on it.)
It's not quite clear what the difference between "hunger" and "munchies" is -- they're kind of the same, right?

(I hope you don't mind I write a comment like this, "workshop-style" like in creative writing classes.)

Don't mind, appreciate the feedback. Still honing my writing skills ;)

Then draw a circle around the plant's utterance in panel 3, and also around the first half of the plant's utterance in panel 4, and consider if those parts could have been something else. Not that they're bad, just that the rest of the strip is excellent and those parts didn't keep up.
