#752: Phobia explain

[Blondie, with extra long hair and Megan in the background of the image observes a long snake on the ground in the foreground.]

Blondie: Whoa, a snake!

Megan: Cool!

Blondie: I’m afraid of snakes.

[Zoom in only on Megan’s upper half.]

Megan: I’m afraid of saying “everything’s complicated right now, but maybe next year” until there are no more years left.

[Slim panel with a zoom to a full picture of only Blondie as she considers this. Beat panel.]

[Same type of image of Megan, who cuts Blondie’s reply (from off-panel) off in mid-sentence.]

Blondie (off-panel): Do you-

Megan: I want to be a storm chaser.

[A black tornado reaches from the black storm clouds to the earth, kicking up a sizable cloud of debris at its base. Blondie is at the wheel of a car, with Megan hanging out the window and holding a camera.]
