TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1:
Sam: (A person wearing a brown, collared shirt, that’s rolled up to the elbows, a black, unbuttoned waistcoat, and black trousers, who is looking directly at the viewer. Eyebrows are raised, and mouth is open, with slightly upturned edges. Both arms are raised at the shoulders and bent forward at the elbows, with hands open, and palms facing each other.) Joe has a cat called Bobby D; he has allowed me to be official co-parent.
Joe: (A person wearing a blue, collared shirt, that’s rolled up to the elbows, and maroon trousers, who is looking directly at the viewer. Eyebrows are raised, mouth is closed, with slightly upturned edges, and head is bent forward slightly. Joe is holding Bobbly D upright, who is also looking directly at the viewer. There are two arrows next to Joe, one pointing at Joe, and the other pointing at Bobby D, the words next to the arrows are:) Joe (and) Bobby D.
Panel 2:
Bobs: (A cat, sitting upright, looking directly at the viewer.) Mrraow?
Cate Blanchett: (A person wearing sunglasses, a black coat and dark grey trousers, who is facing the viewer, head bent forward a little. Eyebrows are lowered, mouth closed and small. One hand is holding a cigarette up, and the other is in its trouser pocket. Cate is sitting down and leaning back against something.)
(There are two arrows, one pointing to Bobs, and one pointing to Cate. There are words between them, which read:) Bobs is named after Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan in I’m not there
(There is a caption below, which reads:) Bobs doesn’t mind what pronouns you use.
Panel 3:
(There is a caption at the top, which reads:) Joe is extremely obsessed with Bobs*.
(Below the panel there is writing, which reads:) *Read: I am extremely jealous of Bobs.
Sam: (A person wearing a light blue, collared shirt and a grey vest, who is facing the viewer, but looking at Joe. Eyebrows are raised, and mouth is open, with upturned edges.) So, shall we go to the movies?
Joe: (A person wearing a green hoodie, who is facing the viewer, but looking at Sam. Eyebrows are raised, and slightly pushed together, mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. One arm is raised at the elbow, and its palm facing up.) We can’t. I really haven’t seen Bobs enough today. She’ll be missing me.
Panel 4:
(There is a caption at the top, which reads:) I mean, I love Bobby D a lot…
Sam: (A person who is lying on the edge of a bed, and is looking at Bobby D. Eyebrows are lowered, and pushed together slightly, mouth is closed and small.)
Joe: (A person who is lying right next to Sam. Eyes are closed, eyebrows are raised, and mouth is closed, with slightly upturned edges.)
Bobby D: (A sleeping cat, who is taking up half the bed)
(There is a caption at the bottom, which reads🙂 …but I think sometimes Joe’s a little too accommodating
bobby d looks so good in comic form! but of course, ms blanchett is enticing in an entirely different way. and YOU, sir, take the cake. (metaphor for gay sex?)
Too cute! Bobs looks great as a comic. There is something magic about how cats expand 3x over once they are in contact with a bed or sofa…Cosmos and Noodles were experts in expansion magic! Yay for co-parenting!
This one is really great to me, as an obsessor over a co-parented cat who goes by many strange names, but especially as a genderqueer person in love with Cate Blanchett as Dylan. I inherited my Dylan-love from my dad and watched “I’m Not There” shortly before he passed.
Yay great! Yes, I’m Not There was incredible, and Cate Blanchett is pretty much the most awesome ever!
