TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has four panels.
PANEL 1
Two women are talking in a supermarket. The first, a woman with stylish glasses and her blonde hair pulled into a low bun, and wearing a reddish orange dress with matching shoes, is grinning with a smug expression and holding up her phone to show the other woman.
The second woman has short brown hair, worn in a style called a “quiff”: “short hair that’s left longer on top and dramatically swept to the side.” She’s wearing jeans, brown boots, an open red button-up shirt over a white tee, and four piercings in her ear.
The two are waiting on line by a counter at a supermarket; we can see a glassed-in counter (like a Supermarket deli) behind them, with ad pictures on the wall showing a sub sandwich, a big joint of meat with slices carved off, and a salad.
GLASSES: As a feminist, I look for small ways to fight misogyny every day!
BOOTS: What a great idea!
PANEL 2
A close up of Glasses, holding up her phone in one hand, and raising her other hand’s forefinger to make a point, still smiling widely.
GLASSES: Like, here on FaceBook I told a trans “woman” that he‘s just a man in a dress!
GLASSES: And on Twitter I said that all transgenders rape women by appropriating women’s bodies!
PANEL 3
Another close up of Glasses, reading her own screen and laughing big, but with a rather mean expression.
GLASSES: And here, I said transgender “women” are to women what Twinkies are to food!
GLASSES (very large): HA!
PANEL 4
In a shot similar to panel 1’s shot, we see Glasses continuing to smile and talk to Boots. Boots, with a horrified expression, has turned away from Glasses and is now holding her own smartphone, which she’s frenetically typing on with a forefinger.
GLASSES: So what’s a small way you’re fighting misogyny?
BOOTS: Telling everyone I’ve ever met to block you.
