Rooster Tails

TRANSCRIPT:

Panel 1:

Sam: (A person wearing a pale olive green polo and dark blue trousers, who is sitting on a beige couch and facing the viewer. Eyebrows are raised and pushed together. Eyes are overflowing with tears, and mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. The word ‘*sniff*’ is next to Sam’s head. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, hand holding a phone up to Sam’s ear.) How was the funeral?

Joe: (A small floating head, with raised, pushed together eyebrows and an open mouth, which has slightly downturned edges.) It was really nice, people got up and told stories…you ok, love?

 

Panel 2:

Joe: (A small floating head, with raised, pushed together eyebrows and an open mouth, which has downturned edges.) Hey are you lookin’ after yourself? Why don’t you call someone to hang out with?

Sam: (A person who is sitting on a beige couch and facing the viewer. Eyebrows are raised and pushed together. Eyes are overflowing with tears, and mouth is open, with downturned edges. Sam is slumped forward slightly. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, hand holding a phone up to Sam’s ear.) I’m too embarrassed!

 

Panel 3:

Sam: (A person who is sitting on a beige couch and facing the viewer, but looking at Crispy the cat. Eyes are overflowing with tears, eyebrows are raised and mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. Sam is slumped forward slightly. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, hand holding a phone up to Sam’s ear.) I decided to watch bad movies instead, and Crispy came in to comfort me. He’s right here.

Crispy: (A ginger cat who is sitting on the couch, next to Sam and facing the viewer, but looking at Sam. Eyebrows are lowered, and ears are back slightly.)

 

Panel 4:

Joe: (A small floating head, with an open mouth, which has upturned edges.) Aw, you should talk to him about Larry.

Sam: (A person who is sitting on a beige couch and facing the viewer, but looking to the side. Eyes are overflowing with tears, and mouth is open, with very slightly downturned edges. Sam is slumped forward slightly. One arm is raised at the shoulder and bent up at the elbow, hand holding a phone up to Sam’s ear.) No, we can’t talk! That’d destroy the delicate balance.

Crispy: (A ginger cat who is sitting on the couch, next to Sam and looking directly at the viewer. Head is cocked to one side, eyebrows are slightly less lowered, and ears are further back.)
