Comic #4068: i-can39t-sleep
Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1:
- A girl with brown curly hair is sitting up in bed, looking upset. She is holding her hands to her face and exclaiming, "Mom! I can't sleep!"
- A woman (presumably her mother) is sitting beside her, smiling and saying, "Just count sheep."
- Above the mother's head is a thought bubble: "I can't! The nuclear apocalypse killed all the sheep!"
Panel 2:
- The girl continues, "By the time the surface is no longer irradiated, all sheep DNA will be gone."
- The girl has a worried expression. She adds, "Sheep are a dead end memory! Just like civilization! Just like hope!"
Panel 3:
- The mother responds with a smile, "How 'bout you just try closing your eyes a while?"
- There is a suggestion in her tone; she looks relaxed and calm.
Panel 4:
- The mother explains, "That way, the toxic fungus seeping through the bunker walls won't have a path to your brain!"
- She has arms outstretched, gesturing dramatically, while the girl looks dubious.
Panel 5:
- The final panel shows the girl wearing a gas mask, lying in bed, while her mother smiles at her.
- The text reads, "And just like that, she was asleep or maybe dead."
Background:
- The setting appears to be a bunker, with objects in the background that suggest a post-apocalyptic environment, like dim lighting and strange shadows.
