It'll probably come out rude, but... fix your flow.
The green bubble in the first panel should appear top left so it's the first one the reader will see. You need it because you put on hold Pike's dialog for two bubbles before resuming abruptly and it takes a lot more time than necessary to process. Or just remove the "hello" bubble altogether.
Alternatively, go for another page layout: draw only one panel with Pike: top half is mostly identical to what's there, bottom half is under the counter with his throbbing erection. Put an insert panel with the guy asking for a room to the right (about the same height as it is now). If the speech bubbles are properly placed, the flow will guide the reader all the way to down to "a lot of hospitality to share" with the bulge becoming obvious.
I don't know, you're the artist. Keep it up.
