Panel 1: Daphne, sitting in a cabin on the RV Seagoon (porthole visible behind her), being interviewed.

Unseen interviewer (out-of-panel balloon) (1): You have to know that there’s been a lot of mail, and a lot of chatter on social media, to the effect that you’re crazy, that you’re unstable, that you’re suicidal, that someone should stop you, and so on.

Translation (1): Devi sapere che abbiamo ricevuto molta posta e un sacco di chiacchiere sui social media, dicono che sei pazza, che sei instabile, che sei una suicida, che qualcuno dovrebbe fermarti, e così via.

Daphne (2): Yes, I know about all that. And I have something to say.

Translation (2): Sì, lo so. E ho qualcosa da dire.

CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (3): For centuries, men have set out on expeditions to advance human knowledge.

Panel 4: Daphne leaning forward, intently.

Daphne (6): And do you know what? No one wrote about how these men were crazy unstable bitches who needed to be stopped for their own good.

Translation (6): E sai una cosa? Nessuno ha scritto che questi uomini erano puttane instabili pazzi che avevano bisogno di essere fermati per il loro bene.

Daphne (7): Instead, they were celebrated as heroes.

Translation (7): Al contrario, sono stati celebrati come eroi.
