A $1 pledge really helps!To read my notes about the cartoon, check out the original patreon post! TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON: This cartoon has nine panels, arranged in a three by three grid. Every panel shows the same subject: A man wearing glasses and a polo shirt, sitting at a small table, with a laptop computer open in front of him.PANEL 1The man sits typing on his laptop. There’s a “tap tap tap” sound effect for his typing. Above him, in Ariel font (a font commonly used for computer text), we can see what he’s typing. He is smiling and looks relaxed.MAN (typing): Hello, “ask me anything” forum. I wrote proposed legislation to make using Mifepristone, also known as “the abortion pill,” a felony. Ask me anything!PANEL 2The man speaks aloud (in the usual faux-handwritten comic book font I use), looking pleasantly surprised.MAN: I wonder how long it takes for… Oh, someone’s asked me a question already!PANEL 3The man reads aloud from his laptop screen. (Again, regular comic book font.)MAN: “Pregnancy loss from taking an abortion pill is indistinguishable from miscarriage. How will you know who to arrest?”PANEL 4The man, still smiling and looking relaxed, types on his laptop.MAN (types): Great question! First, we’ll tell doctors and nurses to immediately call the police if they think a miscarriage is suspicious.PANEL 5The same scene, but closer up. His smile looks creepier, however.MAN (types): Cops will show up and grill women while they’re still bleeding and drugged. The perfect time to get a confession!PANEL 6Even closer up. His smile looks downright malicious now.MAN (types): Experience suggests that certain classes of women- like poor women and Black women -will more often be seen as “suspicious.” That shouldn’t bother you becauPANEL 7The man leans back from the laptop and puts a hand on the side of his face as he thinks. He’s no longer smiling.PANEL 8Leaning forward again, frowning, the man hits the “delete” key a few times. We know this because of the sound effect, which says: “Delete! Delete! Delete!”PANEL 9The man types again, once more looking relaxed.MAN (types): Great question! We’ll know who to arrest through good old-fashioned police work. -- source link
