Doesn’t make sense as the stick is thrown to the right but then the character points to the left.
Shitty comic is shitty.

This is a “4-koma” or four panel comic. Same as what we have in the west, but from to to bottom.
And when multiple columns, right to left.

It’s from Japan. In Japan you would read things right to left most of the time. That’s just how comics get layed out over there.

Well that just seems mean.

The stick is thrown to the right
The character then points to the stick that is now somehow on the left
That’s basic stuff in illustrations or filming, you don’t do that.

It’s an eight panel cat-joke.
It doesn’t matter.

Oh so I didn’t even get it right in the end. Some of it might just be me being stupid, but most of it is the presentation’s fault. The audience here can’t be expected to know this convention, by default comics in English go left to right, top to bottom.

No, you’re right.
Some will edit in little numbers or arrows to indicate the order, or even edit the panels into western order (though that then confuses the hell out of those of us who have learned to read them in the original layout, which kicks in whenever we see that style).
On some, the sequence in the panels makes the order very obvious, but that’s not the case here.
What I would have done in OPs place, is just split the two columns and move them atop each other, so it’s all top to bottom. That’d have made sense to everyone.
