Permalink
Transcript
[Cueball is pointing at a flying insect to the right. Megan is walking towards it.]
Cueball: There's a bug in here.
Megan: Oh, it's a firefly!
Cueball: Wait, really?
Megan: Yeah! I dunno which species. I'll let it out.
[Cueball is standing to the left. Megan has caught the firefly between her hands.]
Cueball: ...I guess it makes sense fireflies have to go somewhere during the day.
Cueball: I had just never thought about it.
[Megan is walking to the left while holding the firefly. Cueball is standing to the right.]
Cueball: It's like seeing your teacher at the store.
Cueball: "Oh, weird, you exist in other contexts, too."
[Megan standing on a grass field has released the firefly.]
Megan: Or when you see your teacher hovering over a field at night giving off flashes of light.
Cueball (off-panel): Yeah, also weird.
Cueball (off-panel): "Sorry Mr. Jones! Uh, have...fun? See you Monday."
