Six inked comic panels. First Row: In the first panel, a person is in bed rubbing their face. In the second, they stretch and yawn while going "AHHHHHH" Second Row: The first panel shows a person in front of a door. The caption says "Jared could hardly stay conscious during the drive home." The second panel shows their silhouette in an open door. Third Row: The first panel shows someone writing at a desk with someone talking on their phone, "I got a pie resting on the counter--" The second panel is a different perspective; captions: "--but don't eat anything! I'm bringing home some chicken from the store."

Our brains are pretty gullible. If you tell yourself a drawn line will be straight, you get pretty darn close.

Inked illustration of a car crash scene. There are stairs and an escalator in the foreground; totaled cars, an ambulance, and police officers in the middle ground; and trees and cop cars in the background. The character in the foreground is saying, "Now wait just a Goddamn minute! Why does he get the escalator?!"
