    Panel 1: In the title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic, Marie sits on her futon, staring at her phone, which is apparently screaming, "WEST! OF! BATHURST! BY! KARI! MAAREN!"

    Panel 2:  Marie answers her phone.

    Marie: Hello?

    Obnoxiously Loud Voice [on phone]YOU WANT THE BIG MAC?

    Panel 3:

    Marie: Uh--

    Voice: HELLO? HELLO? YOU WANT THE BIG MAAAAC?

    Panel 4:

    Marie:
    I think you've got the wrong--

    Voice: I GOT THE BIG MAC! YOU WANT? YOU TAKE THE BIG MAC!

    Panel 5: Marie stares at her phone in bafflement.

    Voice: WHY YOU NOT ANSWER? WHY YOU IGNORE ME? YOU GIVE BACK THE BIG MAC! YOU WANT?

    Panel 6: Marie narrows her eyes.

    Voice: YOU VERY RUDE LADY! I WANT THE BIG MAC! YOU WANT THE BIG MAC? WITH CHEESE?

    Panel 7: Marie tosses her phone aside.

    Marie: It's too much of a Monday for this.

    Voice: I CALL AGAIN! I GET YOU BIG MAC! YOU WANT IT!


    Alt-Text: So this is actually more or less exactly what the woman who has been calling me constantly for the last several days has been saying to me.  At first, it was in person; now I let it go to voice mail, so she says it on my answering machine.  The broken English is quite odd, as I can't place the accent.  It sometimes sounds Asian and sometimes Caribbean.  It's possible she is putting it on.  I have no clue why she is apparently obsessed with getting me a Big Mac.
