it would appear that Lennie, working alone and immersed in his work, is disappointed that his efforts are not recognized, at least to the degree that he wanted to hear. I suspect he exaggerated his own desire for compliments and his own recognition of his own talent and also exaggerated their tepid reaction to something he spent hours on..of course, that IS humor. exaggerating the point.keep on keepin’ on, Lennie.
