Part Twenty Four – Lunch Disappears!
Part Twenty Four – Lunch Disappears!
Panel 1:
- Visual: The WhiskerCart breakroom. Dave is staring in absolute horror into the open office fridge. There is an empty space on the shelf where a lunchbox should be. Sarah and Chloe are standing behind him, looking sympathetic.
- Dave: “My artisanal turkey sandwich… it’s gone. And I literally wrote my name on it in sharpie!”
Panel 2:
- Visual: The lineup of suspects. Buster the Golden Retriever is sitting on the floor, looking extremely shifty and avoiding eye contact. He has a tiny, suspicious piece of lettuce stuck to his nose. Meanwhile, Cocoa (the Siamese cat) is perched gracefully on top of the fridge, casually grooming her paw and looking completely angelic.
- Sarah: “We have a thief in the breakroom. And I think I know who it is.”
Panel 3:
- Visual: Sarah is pointing an accusing finger directly at Buster. Buster looks panicked, his ears are pinned back, and he is trying to subtly hide behind a small potted plant.
- Sarah: “Buster! Did you eat Dave’s lunch?!”
- Buster (Thought Bubble): “I only had the crusts! I swear!”
Panel 4:
- Visual: The twist. Cocoa casually pushes an empty, completely licked-clean Tupperware container off the top of the fridge. It shatters on the floor. Dave, Sarah, and Chloe look up in shock. Cocoa looks down at them with zero remorse, licking her chops.
- Cocoa: “The dog did it. Also, the turkey was a little dry.”
- Caption: At WhiskerCart, the real thief always lands on her feet.
