6: I See Cleo...

Explanation
The author explains their intent with this strip rather sufficiently, similarly to a few other strips covered on this site. As with the author's previous strip, #2, another version of the strip is included in their notes.

The author writes
This strip is based on the webcomic School Bites (which has amazing art and some pretty funny moments). This is a parody of the Digital Bikini trope. While in the original arc, Cleo was wearing gray shorts (except in the particular strip on which this is based, obviously), I made her wear her sleeping pants to make my joke clearer.

Again, I have included a bonus strip, which keeps the joke in the original strip. Again; is this version better, worse, or equally as good as my original edit?
