Panel 1: In
the first panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, we see what appears
to be the title page of a book. It reads, "WEST OF BATHURST 2008 (with
luck)." Someone has scribbled "by Kari Maaren!" and a little doodle of
a woman's head on the page. To the right of the book, we see Wendy,
grinning, looking back towards the book, and holding a camera. Panel 2: In the Davies College foyer, Wendy, still wielding her camera, approaches Baldwin and Fred, who are just standing around. Wendy: Stay still...yearbook photo! Panel 3: In an unspecified location, she approaches a man and a woman in the middle of an argument. Wendy: Smile for the yearbook! Panel 4: Back in the foyer, Casey is walking away from the common room with a cup of coffee in his hand, Rahim is walking towards the common room, and a young woman is heading towards the stairs to the basement. None of the three of them are communicating with each other; they're all moving in different directions. Wendy: Yearbook photo! Everybody move together! Panel 5: In an unspecified location, Marie and Barbara are, again, just standing there. Wendy: Yearbook time. Pose, people! Panel 6: Marie: So how's the yearbook coming? Wendy: It isn't. None of us can be bothered to work on the layout. Panel 7: Marie: Okay. Wendy [shows Marie the camera]: Wouldn't this picture be great on the cover we're obviously never going to have? Alt-Text: The yearbook involves a huge, huge amount of work for three or four people whose only reward is constant nagging and comments to the effect of, "How come you chose THAT picture of me? I've got thousands of better ones on my hard drive!" Go to commentary |
