Robot Solves the Water Crisis
Comic written and illustrated by Ryan Reid
Panel 1: ROBOT is showing his INVENTION to FRANCIS.
ROBOT
Good news, Francis! I solved the water crisis!
Panel 2: Close up of ROBOT and his INVENTION. Sound effect: CLICK!
ROBOT (sincerely)
This device will open a tiny fissure in space-time, allowing the abundant fresh water from pre-history to flow into the now! Watch this!
Panel 3: A gigantic pre-historic WHALE-like creature appears out of nowhere, with a moist POP! sound. ROBOT and FRANCIS are startled.
Panel 4: Close crop on the eye of the WHALE. ROBOT and FRANCIS lean in off panel.
ROBOT (angry)
Oh, great! Another special interest blocking scientific progress!
Panel 5: ROBOT and FRANCIS walking away from the WHALE. ROBOT tosses his INVENTION away.
ROBOT
Seriously, Francis - if I knew it would be hard I never would’ve bothered.
