Panel 1: In the Davies College basement, Barbara, dressed as Sherlock Holmes, is following the mysterious man in polka-dot pyjamas. Man: Are you still following me? Barbara: Of course. Panel 2: Steve and Marie, who have also been following, watch from a distance as Barbara gets into the man's face. Barbara: You represent a simplistic mystery that I solved without effort, but one puzzle does remain: Panel 3: Barbara: What does someone who who thinks it is acceptable to shun other social contact whilst he has a lady friend to gratify his needs do when the relationship that defines him ends? Panel 4: The man gives Marie and Steve a huge, baffled "Can you believe this lady?"-type shrug. Barbara: Does he even own clothes? I see no evidence of that. Marie [to the man]: We have no idea who she is. We're here because of coincidence. Alt-Text: Wizard appears stage right, intones, "There is NO SUCH THING as coincidence," and exits. No one ever mentions this again. Go to commentary |
