Part 2
Panel One: Lady in a kitchen talking on the phone. She is sitting in a chair next to a fridge and the phone is on the wall like the Simpsons I think. Corner shows that it is January 1985, Seattle, WA. Lady is saying “I haven’t heard from George in four or five months…”
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
