Comic Relief

Custom Comics

(Woman reading paper)
“Wow. There’s a lot going on in the world … Why is my life so uneventful?”

(Close-up on newspaper title: “Woman Reads Headline”)
“This is amazing! Finally, I get some recognition.”

(Deep in thought)
“But how can I record this moment in history?”

(Close-up on Comics section)
“Aha! I know just what to do!”

(Woman seated at computer)
“I’ll make my own comic. I’ll log onto Elsewares.com, where I can do just that. All I have to do is write my story. Then underground comic whiz Sophie Crumb (daughter of the renowned R.) will custom create a six-panel chronicle of my story. Next I just need to decide if I want black ink or inked and colored.”

(Wiping sweat from brow)
“Ahh … Decisions, decisions. Life used to be so simple …”

(Lightbulb goes off above her head)
“Hey, wait … Think they’d do a crossword for me?”
