TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has seven panels, all showing the same thing: A woman, seated at a desk in what looks like an apartment, clicking a mouse as she looks at her computer. Her blonde hair is held out of her face by a purple hairband, and she’s wearing a dark blue blouse with pink trim shaped like flower petals, and capri jeans.
PANEL 1
From behind, we see the woman looking at her monitor as she clicks her mouse (SFX: click click click). An orange and white cat sits on the floor, patting her leg with a paw to try and get attention. A window behind her shows daylight.
WOMAN (thought): There’s always a new one up…
PANEL 2
The woman leans her face on one hand, looking a bit frustrated and still manipulating her mouse (SFX: scroll scroll scroll). The cat is climbing up the chair, and the window behind her is getting darker.
WOMAN (thought): Where IS it?
PANEL 3
The woman continues to search (SFX:click scroll click), while the cat sits on the desk, tapping her on her arm with one paw.
WOMAN (thought): C’mon… I’ll find one somewhere.
PANEL 4
The woman leans forward a little, still looking annoyed. The cat, also annoyed, glares at her. It’s even darker outside.
WOMAN (thought): I’ll check the newsgroup.
PANEL 5
The woman rubs a hand through her hair, now looking not just frustrated but a little mad as she keeps searching (SFX: scroll scroll scoll click). Her cat, unnoticed, jumps off the desk.
PANEL 6
The camera zooms in closer as the woman, fully angry now, pounds her fist on the desk. Behind her, we can see that it’s full dark and there are stars in the sky.
PANEL 7
This panel is larger than the other panels. The woman pushes her chair back, pointing a finger at the screen, and yells angrily. In the foreground, the cat walks away but looks back at her resentfully.
WOMAN: AHA! A picture of a MAN in a DRESS! WHY must they SHOVE it in my face?
