Alice Issue #4

Page 16



Hey! Where's the Artwork?


Panel A

Tommy cowers on the floor of his room in fear. His bedroom is a wreckage of childish belongings, strewn about as if the proverbial tornado had come through. Alice uses Tommy's headboard to pull herself to her feet, still clutching the bag in her other hand.

TOMMY: "Alice?!"


Panel B

Alice lifts her head to see that Tommy's closet is empty and dark.

ALICE: "NO!"

TOMMY: "Alice?"


Panel C

Alice rushes into Tommy's closet, places her hand against the cold plaster of the wall.

ALICE: "You fucking bitch! I SAID NO!"

TOMMY: "ALICE? What's happening?"


Panel D

Alice drops the doctor's bag and begins to pound on the wall with both hands. Tommy approaches her warily, confused and frightened.

ALICE: "Open the door! Open the fucking door!"

TOMMY: "ALICE? What's wrong? You're scaring me!"


Panel E

Alice stops pounding on the wall. She leans against it, breathing hard, but she seems to have heard what Tommy said.

ALICE: "Scaring you?"


Panel F

Alice turns to look at Tommy. Her face is a map of malice and cunning.

ALICE: "Oh I'll scare you alright."
