Panel Two: “…the last letter I got from George said that he was leaving Ireland and he was going to make his way to Iceland and Greenland, then cross through Canada to come home.” The picture shows George in a pub writing a letter.

Panel 3: Back to lady sitting in kitchen and voice bubble from phone asking “How is little George taking his dad’s long absence?”

Panel 4: “George has been gone for three years now. I’m not sure little George remembers his dad...” Picture in this panel is a five year old kid sitting in his room smashing a volcano with a tyrannosaurus toy in one hand and a sneaker in the other.

Panel 6: “I think George will be back by the summer” Bang from the door (coming from outside of panel) “Hang on, someone’s at the door”.

Panel 7: Mailman is at the door asking the lady to sign for a package. “I need you to sign for this box. I think it’s from Greenland?” Lady says “OK, sure, thanks”

Panel 8: A close up of the box and the return address. Return address reads Nuuk Police Department Nuuk, Greenland

Panel 9: Lady is standing in her doorway opening the box.

Panel 10: Lady is reading the letter from the police department. The part that is in the panel reads: Dear Mrs. Bentos. We are sorry to inform you that your husband has been involved in a boating accident. His boat appears to have fallen victim to the attack of the narwhal. Your husband’s body has not been found, but due to the location of the boat at its discovery we are not confident in the possibility of survival. Enclosed in this box are the possessions found in the boat…

Panel 11: A close up of the box dropped on the ground with a hat and a letter addressed to “My Dear Annette” (the rest of the address is illegible) There is a voice bubble coming from above which is basically Mrs. Bentos screaming. AAAAHHHHHHHHHH or EEEEEEEEEEE or something. Yeah maybe EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Part 4

Panel 1. Seattle, Washington January 1985. Little George is climbing the bus steps with tyrannosaurus in his hand and the creepy old bus driver says “Hey George, how’s yer mom these days?”. Bus driver digs George’s mom so he says it lustfully or something.

Panel 2. View changes and you see little George from the bus driver’s perspective. “SHUT THE FUCK UP” as he begins to wind up to throw the dinosaur.

Panel 3. The tyrannosaurus is stuck in the bus driver’s eye, tail first. He’s screaming “Gaaaaaah my dangnam eye.” George is walking towards his seat.

Panel 4. Little George sits in his seat next to his friend. “Hi Blades” he says. “Hi George, where’s your t-rex?” Blades is also holding a tyrannosaurus. “It’s in Mr. Supdup’s eye.” “God, I hate that guy.”

Panel 5. Outside of the bus view. Cop cars and an ambulance are surrounding the bus. “Me too, he had it coming.”

Panel 6. Mrs. Bentos is sitting with a lady friend in a diner. She is crying her face off and going. “Annette?! This has been about Annette the whole time? If he is alive I’m going to kill him.”

Panel 7. Mrs. Bentos’s friend reaches out her hand and puts it on Mrs. Bentos and she says “Calm down Juliette. Let’s first try to figure out what has happened to George.”

Panel 8. “I AM CALM!” Juliette Bentos says as she smashes her coffee cup to pieces. “Wait till I get my hands on Geor-WAIT TILL I GET A HOLD OF ANNETTE”

Panel 9. “What are you planning Juliette?” Lady friend is cleaning up the pieces of the broken mug. “I don’t know, but I have to find that bitch. She’ll have some explaining to do. I thought he was done with her”

Panel 10. Close up of Juliette Bentos face. She’s not crying anymore, but she looks crazy. One eye bigger than the other. That kind of thing I guess. “I wonder if she still lives at home. I’m going to head to Wyoming.”

Panel 11. Back to the school bus that is now surrounded by the cops who have their guns drawn on the bus. “Would you mind watching little George for a while? I don’t think I’ll be gone more than a week.” “Yeah sure, Julliette. That’s not a problem.
