Panel 1: In the title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, Marie, wearing armour and wielding a plastic fork, is going up against a fire-breathing dragon labelled "adulthood." I appear to have forgotten to include an actual title in this panel.

Panel 2: Barbara, Marie, and Rahim are sitting on the couch in the Davies College basement nook. They've all been reading books.

Marie: Davies isn't serving dinners this summer?

Rahim: Nope.

Panel 3:

Marie: Oh, man...that's not good. I'll have to cook.

Rahim: So cook.

Panel 4:

Marie: I've spent five years eating at Davies. What makes you think I even own pots?

Panel 5:

Marie: And that's the tip of the iceberg. Cutlery, plates, glasses, cooking implements, spices...I don't have anything but two mugs and a plastic fork.

Panel 6: I thought I had until the fall to pull myself together and become an adult. I can't do it now! It's too soon!

Panel 7: Marie buries her head in her knees.

Barbara: Clearly, this is the end of the world as we know it.

Rahim: Huh...I feel fine.

Alt-Text: The whole adulthood thing is overrated. I think I shall go play with my toys now.
