A few things. Kanji is the reason why japanese doesn't need spaces. Once you've got a background of vocabulary (kanji and just words in general), you don't have trouble reading without spaces. I still run into lots of words that I don't know, but rarely if I ever do I find myself accidentally thinking a particle is part of a word. Also, 'I spent time putting these up, so you should spend time helping me' isn't the most compelling argument for help.

In any case, I'm not surprised you're having trouble reading this. I don't know some words either and I can't just guess because I don't have the necessary context. Example: What (or I'm thinking who) the heck is マイマイ? I also have no idea what ゴンザ is. If I had to guess, it looks like an adverb, but I can't tell from this snippet. I'm only doing the first 2 pictures here because I don't have the time right now to try to figure out what those words are.

1st panel: I cannot give you an accurate translation on this. This one word can mean so many things that without any context (specifically, preceding conversation) I could not tell you what this means.

2nd panel: 'You can't refuse something like that. Everyone's future depends on this journey.'
