Panel 1: Rahim and Marie are sitting on the icy ground of the parking lot behind Davies College. Marie: I wish the ambulance would come. You're shaking. Rahim [examines his trembling hand]: So I am. Panel 2: Rahim holds his hand up in front of his eyes. Rahim: Interesting. Marie: I don't understand how you're so much calmer than I am. Panel 3: Rahim: It's not unusual. You were far calmer than I was last year when you were hit in the face with a door. Marie: True. Panel 4: Marie: Of course, I was unconscious. Rahim: And thus extremely calm. Alt-Text: Now that I think of it, it's funny how a student talking about "last year" will generally mean something quite different from anyone else mentioning the same thing. To a student, "last year" = "last school year." Marie did, in fact, get hit in the face by a door THIS year...but neither she nor Rahim thinks about it that way. Go to commentary |
