Panel 1: Marie, Barbara, and Ursula are in Ursula's university office.
Ursula: I take it Casey Mulligan has gone missing, and you're looking for him.
Marie: Yes. How do you know him?
Panel 2:
Ursula: We met...listen. You're not going to like some of this. You may not even believe it. But just bear with me.
Marie: Okay.
Panel 3:
Ursula:
It was over seven years ago. I was in bad shape; I'd made some stupid
choices and ended up losing everything. I had no job. I couldn't pay
rent. One day in August, my landlord tossed all my stuff into the
street.
Panel 4:
Barbara: I sense this will be a happy story.
Ursula [to Marie]: Is there any way to make her stop doing that?
Marie: Not to my knowledge.
Alt-Text: It's amazing how Barbara always manages to pipe up just in time for the punchline.
