Panel 1: In
the title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, Barbara, who is
dressed as Amy Pond in a red shirt, leather jacket, and mini-skirt, is
glancing towards a man and woman dressed as Adam and Eve (complete with
fig leaves and snake) and a man in a long black robe. The words "West
of Bathurst by Kari Maaren" separate Barbara from the others. The
letters of the title are made of little ghosts. Panel 2: At the Davies College Hallowe'en party, against a decorated backdrop with ghosts and a giant "BOO" on it, Barbara approaches the three people, whom we shall call "Adam," "Eve," and "Pinch-Me." Barbara: Hi. I'm looking for some people...Marie and Casey. They're dressed like characters from Doctor Wh-- Adam: Casey? Panel 3: Eve: Oh my God, that guy is a spaz. Adam: He's here. I think they had to take him to Sara's room. Panel 4: Barbara is seething by this point. Eve: Yeah, he was totally freaking. He set some chick's beer on fire with his mind, then fell down and started twitching. Adam: Clearly disturbed. Panel 5: Eve: I couldn't believe him, you know? Ruining Hallowe'en like that. Adam: I don't know why he was even here. Pinch-Me: It was funny, though, right? When he was all frothing at the...uh... Panel 6: Barbara flings herself angrily upon the three young people. Panel 7: In Sarah's room, a dishevelled Barbara stands next to Sara's bed. Casey still has his face buried in his knees; Marie, sitting next to him, has placed a hand on his back. Barbara: All right, Lucifer, I've defended your honour. Now tell me why you made me wear this mini-skirt. Casey: Pure diabolical genius? Alt-Text: In rather different ways, both Sara and Barbara are quite heroic. Go to commentary |
