PANEL 1: The Earth, from space, showing Spain, Italy, the top of Africa. Barcelona, Brussels, Rome, and Cairo have dark spots indicating the attacks were devastating. NARRATION: And so the silent call goes out to 7,000 members of La Familia… PANEL 2: In front of a ringed planet flies an Imperial ship. NARRATION: On every planet, on every ship —where they might be— the call rings in their cochlear nerve implant. PANEL 3: On snowy Saseet, Captain Til in hooded coat talks to another grasskan in a puffer coat. In between them stands a small, dorky looking man with square glasses. (Same guy who stood up to ask a question in act 1!) NARRATION: Everywhere… Thought bubble above man’s head: Oh no. PANEL 4: A Veetan with a headscarf holds a tray with a single cupcake on it. With his arm on the bakers’ back, The Least of Us (seen in Act 2!) The Governor we saw Orla reveal her knowledge of the secret sign language to stands next to them. NARRATION: Everywhere… Thought bubble above the Governor’s head: Oh no. PANEL 5: The First Minister fillipod reads from a long paper, the buck-toothed fillipod looks on, thrilled. A blonde Familia man (last seen being robbed by Los Tres Primos in Act 1!) stands looking concerned next to them. NARRATION: Everywhere… Thought bubble above the man: Oh no. PANEL 6: Los Tres Primos stand around - one skinny, one large, one short. NARRATION: Everywhere… Tall Primo: Oh no. Short Primo: I SAY WE GO! —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

PANEL 1: An orange SCORPION rides of the back of a green FROG, who is wildly splashing in the water. The sky is blue. FROG: OW! Scorpion! Why would you sting me int he middle of the river? Now are both going to die! PANEL 2: The SCORPION looks annoyed, the FROG is angry, but has stopped thrashing. SCORPION: Ah, my friend. Because it is my NATURE to sting. FROG: Your nature is to be a tremendously huge but ahead! THAT’S your nature!! PANEL 3: The sky has turned a darker blue, the FROG looks ill and starts to sink. The SCORPION looks introspective. No text. PANEL 4: The sky is a darker blue now, the frog is head-down in the water, bubbles popping on the surface. The SCORPION is still on the frogs back, his eyes wide. SCORPION: Well that is just hurtful. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the *FULL* Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!
