Panel 1
(Exterior of an office building, music notes are floating out of a window.)
Caption: The following day...

Panel 2
(Inside the office, Miss Match looks distressed, covering her ears. Lightning Lady is also covering her ears. Through a glass window, Jeremy is seen playing a clarinet for Cassie Cruz, who sits at her desk.)
Miss Match: What’s that horrible noise?!

Panel 3
(Miss Match and Lightning Lady continue covering their ears in agony.)
Miss Match: Jeremy has been playing for Cassie for hours!

Panel 4
(Close-up of Miss Match and Lightning Lady, both wincing from the sound.)
Miss Match: This is terrible!
Lightning Lady: Tell me about it...

Panel 5
(Inside Cassie’s office, Jeremy enthusiastically plays the clarinet, with music notes filling the air. Cassie sits at her desk, looking unimpressed. A cobra in a basket, presumably meant to be charmed, looks just as miserable.)
Lightning Lady (off-panel, in a thought box): Just our luck we got a tone-deaf cobra!

Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.

Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.Thanks to “Docean” for reminding me of this place on the Shoutbox.

Located in the stroller-ridden neighborhood of Park Slope, aspiring superheroes can re-stock their secret underground lair, trick out their utility belt and even purchase anti-matter.

The Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co clock that my wife bought it for my birthday is one of my most prized possessions. It hangs directly over my drawing board in my studio.
