Hey! Where's the Artwork?


Panel A

Continue scene. Boogy seems to have accepted his defeat. He wears his chains without fuss or struggle. Handsome leans against a table nearby, clearly impatient.

HANDSOME: "What if the girl doesn't come?"

???: "She comes now. The witch brings her."


Panel B

Continue scene. Handsome pushes away from the table, advances a few steps toward his master. The old man regards Handsome with a fatherly indulgence.

HANDSOME: "What if the witch betrays us?"

???: "The witch knows the role she is to play. Unlike some others."


Panel C

Continue scene. Handsome puts a boot on Boogy's chest, pushes him back a little so Handsome can look down into his face. Boogy looks back at him impassively.

HANDSOME: "What if this one tries to escape?"

???: "He won't."


Panel D

Boogy grins up at Handsome through broken teeth.

BOOGY: "I got me a front-row seat to yer ass-kickin'. Why would I wanna leave?"
