TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has five panels, with the same two characters – a young woman wearing glasses and a pink scarf, and another young woman wearing a long yellow jacket. In the first two panels, the two are sitting around an apartment, on a couch.
Panel 1
Scarf woman is reading a comic book, and speaks enthusiastically to Jacket woman, who looks unconvinced.
SCARF: Have you read this comic? It’s really awesome.
JACKET: I heard the creator was arrested for beating his girlfriend.
Panel 2
Scarf tosses the comic over her shoulder. Jacket looks a bit angry as she talks, waving a hand in the air.
SCARF: Screw comics, then. We’ll just browse the internet.
JACKET: Yeah! We can google how the workers who make our devices are horribly abused.
Panel 3
Scarf tries again, but Jacket rejects the idea again, standing up with her arms crossed, turning her back on Jacket.
SCARF: Let’s watch an old movie. Something made before the internet.
JACKET: Hitchcock, Kubrick, Bertolucci… Lots of directors abused their actresses back then. Just like today.
Panel 4
The two characters, after a quick back and forth, both yell to the sky (or ceiling) in abject frustration.
SCARF: Music?
JACKET: R. Kelly.
SCARF: Disney?
JACKET: Are you joking?
BOTH: AAAGH! EVERYTHING IS PROBLEMATIC!
Panel 5
The two characters are now out in a beautiful, sprawling park, with trees and rolling hills, sitting on a hillside. Scarf is smiling and leaning back; Jacket has her arms crossed on her knees and still looks crabby.
SCARF: Isn’t it great out here, enjoying clean, unproblematic nature?
JACKET: Stolen land.
