This is probably my most political comic to date. It blew up on Reddit. I think it even made it to the front page. People used the comments as a place to debate COVID-19 lockdown re-opening. The debate got so heated that the moderators of r/funny actually took it down.
Transcript
Panel 1 : Ext. Castle Courtyard – Day
A King addresses a crowd of his subjects from the top of a high wall.
King
My loyal subjects.. I’ve decided to reopen the castle!
Panel 2 : Int. Castle Courtyard – Continuous
From the crowd below, a lowly subject speaks up. Behind him is the main gate of the castle. On the other side of that, a green fog can be seen lingering right over the wall.
Subject
But Your Majesty! The Murder Fog is right outside the gates! We’ll be killed!
Panel 3 : Int. Castle Courtyard – Time
The king motions to a group of three younger people to his left. They look insufferable. Like mideval hipsters.
King
I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I have no choice… Beck and her friends MUST BRUNCH!
