Panel 1: In the Davies College quadrangle, Baldwin and Casey are standing next to each other. Casey is holding a peanut.
Baldwin: It's just not fair, you know? Fellowships should last longer than five years.
Casey: I found a peanut on the street.
Panel 2:
Baldwin: I've been cut adrift, cast out into a cold, uncaring world.
Casey: It could be a perfectly good peanut. There's no way of knowing.
Panel 3:
Baldwin: Who knew the life of a Junior Fellow was like to the sparrow's flight through the mead hall?
Casey: If I crack it open, will I destroy its mystery? What to do?
Panel 4: Marie and Clarissa have been watching all this.
Clarissa: So this is what you call a "conversation" here.
Baldwin sobs dramatically.
Casey: I am baffled by the indeterminacy of this peanut.
Alt-Text: Much less cruel than that whole thing with the cat.
