Panel 1: Back
in the brick-lined hallway where Marie saw the cute blond guy, Marie
stands facing Barbara. Marie gestures behind her, in the direction the
guy has gone.
Marie: That is the most beautiful man in the universe. Why do you think he's Satan?
Barbara: I know he's Satan.
Panel 2: Barbara turns away from Marie and gestures expansively.
Marie: How?
Barbara: He's the most beautiful man in the universe.
Panel 3: We
get an extremely frightening close-up of Barbara's face. This is worse
than all the other close-ups we have had so far. Her eyes fill the
panel and are almost the size of actual eyes.
Barbara: His very physical perfection makes him suspect. You have fallen right into his diabolical trap. Beware: those looks are a snare!
Panel 4:
Barbara: Plus he has a dog named Cthulhu, and he can whistle through his nose.
Marie: Now, see...the scary thing is that for about ten seconds there, you actually almost had me.
Alt-Text: I like this kind of logic, actually.
