PAGE 17 (Four panels)

Panel One: Stanley, still sitting on the path, pointing and gesturing with a wild expression on his face. Policeman #1 is looking in the direction in which he is pointing.

Stanley: It took her…that way…down the path…

Panel Two: Policeman #1 and POLICEMAN #2, viewed head on. They are hard to see, as they are pointing bright police flashlights “out of the panel” toward the reader.

Panel Three: The policemen’s P.O.V. We are looking down the path with illumination laid out in bright ovals created by the beams of the policemen’s flashlights., There is a wet, slimy trail leading down the path lying in the path are a few items of Grace’s outer clothing, rumbled and also slimy.

Panel Four: More of the policemen’s P.O.V., now looking across a patch of grass that has been torn and pressed flat by something passing over it. IN the torn path lies some rumbled items of Grace’s underclothing.

PAGE 16 (Four panels)

Panel One: Stanley is holding his right hand as if it has just been terribly burned. His face registers pain. Grace is falling away to his side, her head now encased in goo.

Stanley: (jagged-edged balloon): Ah!

Grace: (moan)

Panel Two: Close-up of the face of a mobile phone held in Stanley’s left hand. On the face of the phone we can see the digits 911.

Panel Three: A police car driving at night — meant to be moving as if responding to the emergency that Stanley has just phoned in. Its lights should be flashing. (SFX Eeeeeee!)

Panel Four: Stanley is sitting on the path, his face registering shock. He is cradling his damaged hand under one of his arms. POLICEMAN #1 is crouching down next to him.

Stanley: It took her…it ate her…it took her…it ate her…

Policeman #1: Please try to calm down, sir. What took who?

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.

Character design note: They make an attractive couple, casually dressed and in their early twenties. Their designs are otherwise at the discretion of the artist.

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.

Grace (out-of-panel balloon): Though I’ll concede that approaching Soviet political history through jokes is an audacious approach.

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.

Stanley: Probably just some damn bird. Here, let me help you.

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