Panel 1: In
the first panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, Marie pokes her head
suspiciously into the panel. Nearby, on a brick wall, someone has taped
posters reading "WEST," "OF," "BATHURST," and "by Kari Maaren," all of
them upside down. Off to the right, Baldwin is talking on his cell
phone. Beside him is a young man with curly black hair and a black
beard whom we will shortly learn is named Noam. Noam is scribbling
busily on a piece of paper. Baldwin [into phone]: It's all right...Noam says he can get rappelling gear! Panel 2: In the Davies College kitchen, Marie pours hot water from a kettle into a pink mug. She gasps as the water goes straight through onto the counter, as the mug has no bottom. Looking very studious, Noam and Baldwin observe. Panel 3: Marie encounters a large fake spider hanging from the ceiling in the Davies basement. Behind her, Noam and Baldwin communicate via hand gestures. Panel 4: In the Lower Library, Marie jumps as several books leap out of a bookcase and fall on her. Nearby, Noam is pushing a button on a remote control, while Baldwin ponders, his hand on his chin. Panel 5: Baldwin pulls a string, dumping water on Marie's head. Noam gives him a thumbs-up gesture. Panel 6: Marie, dripping, turns and glares at Noam and Baldwin. Panel 7: Marie: April Fools' Day is a week and a half away! Baldwin [begins to walk away with Noam]: I know; we're already behind on our preliminary testing. Alt-Text: I know people who will spend MONTHS preparing for April 1. Well, maybe not months. Maybe just five or six weeks. Go to commentary |
