Description
Comic Description
Panel 1:
A blue-haired woman and a brown-haired man are lying in bed. The woman is propped up on her elbow, looking concerned. She asks, "Are you okay? What are you thinking about?" The man, lying on his back, replies simply, "Nothing."
Panel 2:
The woman, still looking at him, insists, "It's not nothing. I can tell. Talk to me." The man turns to look at her with a somewhat anxious expression.
Panel 3:
Text displayed prominently in a speech bubble: "‘Shrimp’ is the only English word that is a (A) noun that is the same plural and singular, (B) a description, and (C) a verb describing an action the noun can't perform on itself." The man appears to be deep in thought, with a distressed expression.
Panel 4:
The man continues, saying, "Shrimp shrimp can't shrimp shrimp shrimp." The woman looks frustrated or overwhelmed by the conversation.
Panel 5:
She expresses her annoyance, saying, "No more please. No more—"
Beside her, the man looks engaged in his thought, responding, "Shrimping is toe-sucking and shrimp don’t have toes."
Final Panel:
The setting continues to be the bed with both characters shown in a relaxed but slightly exasperated state, a playful coupling of absurdity and frustration in their conversation.
