Panel 1: In the title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, Wendy, dressed as the Queen of Hearts from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,
is partying hard (with streamers, confetti, and a martini). She looks
through a looking glass at Marie, dressed as Alice and reading a book
on a couch. A streamer reading "West of Bathurst by Kari Maaren" floats
through the looking glass.
Panel 2: On
the night of the Davies College Winter Ball, Rahim, Marie, and Barbara
are in the basement, gathered around the pool table. Wendy, looking
incredulous, approaches them.
Wendy: What are you doing?
Marie: Uh...playing pool?
Panel 3:
Wendy: The Winter Ball is going on upstairs! Right now!
Marie: We know; we were there.
Panel 4: Marie lines up a shot.
Wendy: So go back.
Rahim: Eventually.
Marie: It's just kind of loud and overly social. We needed a break.
Panel 5:
Wendy: A break.
Barbara: Uh-huh.
Panel 6:
Wendy:
From dancing, getting utterly wasted, and watching people initiate
inappropriate one-night stands by accident while dressed as giant
playing cards.
Rahim, Marie, and Barbara: Yep.
Panel 7: Wendy swings around and heads back to the party as Marie lines up another shot.
Wendy: You really don't understand the meaning of the word "fun," do you?
Marie: Odd...that's what I was about to say.
Alt-Text:
I have had such conversations with entirely well-meaning people who
simply can't understand how anyone could not want to spend six hours
bouncing around to music so loud that it precludes conversation.
However, I admit that I'm a freak of nature. Most people DO find this
sort of thing fun.
