Alice Issue #3

Page 5



Hey! Where's the Artwork?



Panel A

In the Nacre Expanse, in a small room somewhere in Closet, Boogey howls with anger and frustration. Fists clenched and face turned towards Heaven, he unleashes his primal rage. A tight shot on Boogey, not much of the room can be seen.

BOOGEY: "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


Panel B

Boogey, bowed in defeat, sinks to his knees in a slump, head down and trembling. Still tight on Boogey. Past his shoulder we see a startled Alice poke her head into the room.

ALICE: "Boogey? What's wrong?"


Panel C

Boogey turns towards Alice and holds up a tiny empty cardboard box. His expression is one of hopeless, crushing defeat. A wider shot of the room shows that they are in a kitchen of sorts.

BOOGEY: "That kid ate all the snack-cakes!"


Panel D

Alice enters the kitchen with a delicately arched eyebrow and makes her way to the cupboard. Boogey turns away and hides his face with one hand, waves her off with the other.

ALICE: "I'm sure we have more in the pantry."

BOOGEY: "Don't do it! Don't open that door!"


Panel E

Alice opens the cupboard door, and a pile of empty snack-cake boxes tumble to the floor. Empty cellophane wrappers scatter across the floor like desiccated insect husks. Boogey continues to wallow in despair.

BOOGEY: "Close it! Close the door! I can't bear to see it that way!"
