Panel 1: In
the title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, Marie and Evil Marie
appear as monochrome colour-reversed versions of each other, one on
either side of the panel. Marie is staring at Evil Marie, who is
smiling wickedly. The words "West of Bathurst / by Kari Maaren" appear
twice, again mirrored; on the right side of the panel, the words are in
reverse.
Panel 2: Marie is in her sleeping bag in the dark. Evil Marie is leaning on her.
Evil Marie: Seen Caid lately?
Marie: Trying to sleep here, actually.
Panel 3:
Evil Marie: I think I raise a valid point. Caid hasn't been around since you got back from the nuthouse.
Marie: What a nice soft pillow this is...
Panel 4:
Evil Marie: You sent Basil to meet Casey before you checked out. And then...
Panel 5:
Evil Marie: Bam: Casey turns up with shackle marks on his wrists and ankles. Makes you think, doesn't it? Doesn't it?
Panel 6:
Marie: No.
Panel 7: Marie pulls the covers over her head.
Evil Marie: Translation: "When spooky things happen, I bury my head in the sand."
Marie: You're spooky; I hold whole conversations with you.
Alt-Text: Conversations are always ever so slightly better when they're spooky.
