Panel 1: Kretch tilts his head back, blissfully humming, "Mmmmm." Panel 2: Beth looks blankly ahead: "That tasted disgusting. I don't feel anything yet." Panel 3: A bird rests on a nearby branch in the desert stillness. 4. In Kretch's mind, with manic glee we see him smashing the butt of his rifle into someone out of frame as blood splatters. 5. A blanket with water and crackers sits in front of them as Kretch and Beth sit cross-legged on either side of Spanish Scott, who's kneeling. Beth rests her head on Scott's shoulder and everyone looks at peace. Scott says, "Love."

Text overlaying a speech balloon. The speech balloon says the following (split over 5 lines): "I rarely get to hear your voice since you're not much for conversation… and I do so love your timbre. So won't you read?" Colliding with the words "I rarely get" and "much for" at the beginning of the first and third lines are the following editorial directions: "Fix this page -red layer." The story is printed in black ink with spot red (and gray and pink halftones).

Evan racked up two Eisners for Eltingville and Milk & Cheese. David took best writer/artist. Sarah won nothing for Action Girl 'cause the nomination panel was full of stinky guys. All four were drunk off their asses.

"Someone put that up on YouTube!" "Oh fuck -- OH FUCK!" Panel 2: The Eltingville Club look horrified. Jerry: "What if he's dead? What if Steranko is dead? What if we killed Steranko?" Pete: "We're fucked! We'll be arrested -- an' this time as adults!" Josh: "Steranko can't be dead! Steranko's a living legend! I'll never work in comics if I kill a living legend!"
