    yet the same position of the right door in frame 4 apparently indicates a person lying down.

    Check again friend, the back right door is open in panel 4, njt the same front right door.

    It’s hard to tell the difference, but it is different. Took me way too long to get the joke too cuz of that

      It’s a different door but it’s the same position. This doesn’t work. If \ indicates a person standing it can’t indicate a person lying down, whichever door it is.

        It’s not the same position tho. If you look at the two images side by side, you can see the right door is noticeably lower than the left door in the final panel, but even in the previous panel:

          Position meaning ‘the way in which something is placed or arranged’. I’m aware it’s a different door, but the position / tilt / angle / pose / arrangement of the door is the same, being \ .Taking \ to indicate standing, it can’t indicate lying down.

            Ok, so your complaint is the door orientation, not the position. I disagree with the idea that it doesn’t necessarily work, given how many other instances of the meme get a bit out there and are intentionally setup to be recognizable yet inscrutable. But I can see why it wouldn’t work for people.
