Panel 1: In
the title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, ice sculptures of
Barbara and Marie hold up an icy sign reading, "WEST OF BATHURST BY
KARI MAAREN." Panel 2: Marie and Barbara are sitting in the Davies College common room, surrounded by Junior Fellows. Marie: Okay, let's see them before they melt. Panel 3: A young white man with brown hair shows Marie what looks like a small cup made out of ice as Baldwin displays an ice cylinder to Barbara. Marie [to the young man]: Ooh, nice...a perfect teacup shape. Barbara [to Baldwin]: Did you use a stein? Baldwin: Yep! Panel 4: A young woman with dark brown hair hands Marie an ice disk. Marie: Dinner plate? Barbara: We could play frisbee with that. Voice From Off Panel: Try this. Panel 5: Steve places what appears to be an ice cushion with a little man standing on top of it on the table. Marie: Wow...how'd you do it? Steve: Cookie cutter on top of a Jell-o mould. Panel 6: Marie, Barbara, and Steve stand, and Barbara holds a small, black boxy thing out to Steve. Marie: I think we have our winner. Barbara: Congratulations; you win a twenty-year-old space heater we found in a closet. Steve: Ooh! Panel 7: Sara, who has been watching in puzzlement, approaches Marie and Barbara. Sara: This is...? Marie: Our annual ice-sculptures-created-by-leaving-liquid-next-to-one's-single-paned-bedroom-window-all-night competition. Barbara: I once made one shaped like an albatross. Alt-Text: This is actually a problem at Massey. The windows are not sealed as well as they could be, and the single-paned glass becomes a little...inadequate...in the depth of a Toronto winter. I do think an ice-sculpture competition would be doable. Go to commentary |
