PAGE 15 (Four panels)

Panel One: GRACE BLUESTONE (“Grace”) and her boyfriend STANLEY (“Stanley”) are walking along a lighted path on a college campus at night. There are leafy trees that extend their branches over the path.

Stanley: And so the painter said “Lenin? Lenin’s in Poland!”

Grace: Oh, ha ha. Saw that punchline coming kind of a long way away.

Panel Two: View from up in one of the trees the limbs of which overhang the path on which Grace and Stanley are walking. A big mass of goop is on one of the main limbs and is just beginning to drip off to the path below.

Panel Three: A bit of the goo drips onto Grace, who scrunches her shoulders and looks disgusted.

Grace: Oh, yuck! What is that?

Panel Four: Stanley is reaching over to Grace with a handkerchief. Stanley looks solicitous, and Grace is beginning to look a little shocked.

Grace: Stanley, I don’t think that was just a bird…
