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!

Just in time for Maxmus Eve (the day before my 8yo becomes a 9yo), Marvel announced that they’d inked a deal with Sony Pictures to enable Spider-Man to appear in Avengers: Infinity Wars. I sprung the news on my boys and recorded their reactions. During the conversation, we discuss the Brian Clevinger/Lee Black graphic novel, Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet (pictured below). The boys enjoyed the heck out of it, so you might want to check it out.
