TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has nine panels. Each of them focuses on a green public bench, which is next to a bus stop sign.
PANEL 1
A woman in a polka-dot skirt and tee shirt is sitting on the bench. She’s picking up her backpack, which is beside her, taking up the other seat on the bench. A man with a rolled-up newspaper under his arm is standing next to the bench; we can’t see his face yet.
WOMAN (thought balloon): Better move my bag so this guy can sit down…
PANEL 2
The man has sat down next to her, and is now reading his newspaper. The woman looks at him, looking shocked.
WOMAN (thought): Wait, he’s Black!
PANEL 3
A close-up of the woman clutching her hands to each other and looking anxious.
WOMAN (thought): What if he thinks I moved the bag to keep him from stealing it?
PANEL 4
The woman continues looking anxious, biting her fingernails. Next to her, the man is still engrossed in his newspaper.
WOMAN (thought): Geez, he mus think I’m a total racist scum!
PANEL 5
A closer shot of the woman, concentrating as she things, a finger on her chin.
WOMAN (thought): But then, what if I hadn’t moved the bag?
PANEL 6
A close up of the woman, who is shrugging.
WOMAN (thought): Then I would have been racist for not offering him a seat!
PANEL 7
The woman leans her head on one hand, the other hand by her chin, and has a grumpy, resentful expression.
WOMAN (thought): It’s damned if I do and damned if I don’t!
PANEL 8
A close up of the woman, hands clutching the air in frustration, now looking quite angry.
PANEL 9
The woman turns and yells at the man. The man looks up from his newspaper, seeming a little surprised.
WOMAN: Why must you Blacks be son sensitive!
MAN (thought): ?
