In the first two panels, the two are sitting around an apartment, on a couch. Panel 1 Scarf woman is reading a comic book, and speaks enthusiastically to Jacket woman, who looks unconvinced. SCARF: Have you read this comic? It’s really awesome. JACKET: I heard the creator was arrested for beating his girlfriend. Panel 2 Scarf tosses the comic over her shoulder. Jacket looks a bit angry as she talks, waving a hand in the air. SCARF: Screw comics, then. We’ll just browse the internet. JACKET: Yeah! We can google how the workers who make our devices are horribly abused. Panel 3 Scarf tries again, but Jacket rejects the idea again, standing up with her arms crossed, turning her back on Jacket. SCARF: Let’s watch an old movie. Something made before the internet. JACKET: Hitchcock, Kubrick, Bertolucci… Lots of directors abused their actresses back then. Just like today. Panel 4The two characters, after a quick back and forth, both yell to the sky (or ceiling) in abject frustration. SCARF: Music? JACKET: R. Kelly. SCARF: Disney? JACKET: Are you joking? BOTH: AAAGH! EVERYTHING IS PROBLEMATIC! Panel 5 The two characters are now out in a beautiful, sprawling park, with trees and rolling hills, sitting on a hillside. Scarf is smiling and leaning back; Jacket has her arms crossed on her knees and still looks crabby. SCARF: Isn’t it great out here, enjoying clean, unproblematic nature? JACKET: Stolen land. -- source link
