Panel 1: In
the title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, Marie, dressed as
Alice in Wonderland, is sitting against a wall in the Davies College
quadrangle. She glances up at Casey, dressed as Mr. Incredible. It's
dark out. The words "West of Bathurst by Kari Maaren" are handwritten
on the wall. Panel 2: Casey looks down at Marie. Casey: Marie? Why are-- Marie: You already know I'm hiding from the mob because we forgot to order beer. Panel 3: Casey sits down beside Marie. Casey: Yes, but now you seem to be hiding even from your equally guilty co-chairs. Marie: It's nothing. Panel 4: Marie: Except...well...I just remembered the last time I dressed up as Alice in Wonderland for Hallowe'en. Panel 5: Marie: I think I was about nine. My parents took me out trick-or-treating. My mom made me wear a coat over my costume because it was cold, and I was so disappointed. I'd...forgotten that. I feel as if all this time, without knowing, I've been down the rabbit hole. Panel 6: Marie buries her face in her hands. Panel 7: Marie: But I don't confide heart-rending memories of my tragically dead parents to you any more. Casey: Sorry, I was forgetting. Alt-Text: Aw, what a touching mo--no, wait, it's completely gone now. Go to commentary |
