I don’t think the point is how many words are in each bubble, but the direction they are going, and I don´t think butchering the dialogue to make it symmetrical would improve the comic at all.
If I had a complaint, it’s that the man’s backwards speech bubble begins in the middle, when I think it would flow better if it started at the far right and we did a full C-shaped route around the comic, ending where we began.
The point is the direction, yes, but the formatting is inconsistent. In what situation is the formatting ever “the point”? And yet it’s important nonetheless.
The way it is is what seems butchered. Using consistent formatting isn’t “butchering the dialogue”
I guess I’m confused because “formatting” to me means how text is presented: font, typeface, spacing, kerning, etc; and you are complaining about the text itself (words per bubble). You can say the rhythm isn’t symmetrical or satisfying.

The words per bubble is how the text is presented, ergo it’s the formatting…
Congratulations, now it’s bothering me too.
Success?
