You see, the comic doesn't denote who is speaking. So I am asking as if I think the fan is the one speaking to the old man. Thus making a secondary, arguably worse, joke.
The best I can describe it is almost always no, I hear spaces, objects, colors, etc. I can think on all my senses pretty easily except vision. I world make in 'sound' and awareness. I don't explain it well, and I do have pretty good spacial and situational awareness. I just don't think in vision.
A great 'reset button' for me is to be in a small room that is totally as dark as I can get it. Can't see my hand in front of my face after 45min dark. After a while in that space my mind will make up slashes of color. It feels like my brain running a test pattern for my eyes.
I'm almost the exact opposite. I hear everything when I think. I don't picture 99.9% of my thoughts. I think in sounds. Not all thoughts are languages, but all thoughts are sounds. Even the very very few I have pictured. The thoughts in languages are numerous at a time and constant, as though forever lightning in bottle. I love it. It sounds kind of like the matrix looks.
Had Leia happened upon some random person out in the forest, she likely would have hidden and observed to figure out their intentions/allegiance before engaging. As would I, a guy.
And when the ewoks happened upon some random guys in the forest they got super agro defensive until C3PO said "not all men".
