Summit City Comic Con is this weekend. We might have Paragon show up for pictures! If so we’ll put a few on FB. BTW, we have an RSS feed and a Facebook page for you to keep up to date on our comic.

ORIGINAL SCRIPT

Panel 1
GAIL is on top of a fancy wooden backyard swingset. She’s dangling down a stuffed rabbit, holding it by the ears. MARK is trying to jump up and reach it.

GAIL
You’re not even trying. Jump higher.

MARK
Give it back!

Panel 2
GAIL is sitting on top of a large, closed, toy chest.

MARK
(From inside the toy chest)
Let me out! I’ll tell mom!

GAIL
Just push it open. I’m not that heavy.

Panel 3
GWEN is at the front door. She’s wearing a light coat and carrying a covered dish. LIZA is letting her in.

GWEN
Where are the kids? Usually they run to the door before anyone else.

LIZA
I don’t know. They’ve been playing quietly all day. I’ve barely seen them. Which probably means they’re up to no good.

Panel 4
LIZA takes GWEN’s coat and hangs it in a closet by the front door.

GWEN
Am I early? I’m early aren’t I. I’m always early. I can never figure out that fall forward spring time thing so half the year I’m always early.

Panel 5
A high tech VTOL craft descends on the driveway in a low rumble. LIZA ducks her head out the front door to see it.

LIZA
I’d say you’re right on time.
