I keep looking from the 2nd to 3rd panel and back to try to figure out how the artist conveys that Martin is looking from the book in panel 2 to the patron in panel 3 but can’t quite figure out how it’s managed. It’s very subtle.

in panel 2, his eyes touch his nose. in panel 3, they don’t; they are a tiny bit higher on his face..
