Why aren't they smiling in the last pic? Aren't they having fun on the PC? This makes no sense to me.

Concentration. Focus.

Smiles serve a social purpose of indicating enjoyment to other people. This person is alone, and they don't know they're in a comic, so there's no point in them smiling. They might be autistic and only smile for other people's benefit.
