CHAPTER 10 - PAGE 6

(Transcript and visual captions below}

Karl drummed his fingers on his legs as the last bus of the night lurched along, lingering at every stop. Every damned stop! Late, he was going to be late, maybe even super late, and it was all because of this stupid bus. Why did he have to pretend he was all independent and shit, and could meet Jack closer? Why didn't he just ask to be picked up? He'd do that next time. If there was a next time... He tried to distract himself by composing brilliant quips and witticisms to drop. And none of them would be questions about the Grey Menace. Not even one. If he happened to find something out during the course of the night, so be it. Yup.
 

In which there really is such a thing as too many noodles.

Karl pointed Molly away as she horked up her kitty breakfast. Like a gun that shot cat barf instead of... bullets. Gross. How did he end up in this barfitorium? Well at least the semi-digested kitty kibble landed on a crinkled Masher issue. No loss there.

OMG it's been so long. Thanks Christopher for giving me the longest KF break in... forever! It gave me a good chance to edit my novel, and write the next KF chapter. A round of applause for the good man. Now I feel like I've gotten out of practice in drawing, so it took me forever. I apologize. ;_; Hopefully this one got me back in the swing of things.

PS I had a first date where I barfed. It wasn't with Christopher, it was with a crappy guy and I like to imagine it was my body warning me.

            TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.

1.)

(Jack holds the car door for Karl, who is getting in on the passenger side.)

KARL: Hey. Sorry you had to--

2.)

(Jack's CatCat t-shirt is within, crumpled into a pile.)

KARL: Wow, how’d you get one of these? They’re all sold out.

3.)

(Jack tosses it in the back seat. Karl doesn't look overly suspicious... yet!)

JACK: Huh? I’ve had that for a while. Pretty comfy I guess.

4.)

(Outside the car, we see police cars jamming up a street.)

JACK: Ah, the riot. Better not go this way.

KARL: A riot?! Why?

JACK: Because it’d be hard to drive through, duh.

5.)

(Inside the car, Jack asks a question and Karl looks enthusiastic.)

JACK: So where to?

KARL: Oh! One of my favorite places.

6.)

(At a fancy oriental noodle place, Jack contemplated the bowl of not-blood and Karl notes his hesitance.)

KARL: What’s wrong? Don’t like it?

JACK: Too many noodles?

KARL: You used to love this stuff. It’s good! Just try it.

7.)

(Jack looks slightly disturbed and Karl annoyed.)

JACK: Been a long time since I ate... this stuff.

KARL: C’mon, won’t kill you to try it.

JACK: Ehh... I guess so.

8.)

(Karl is looking oblivious while Jack has a hand over his own mouth.)

KARL: Soo I guess we could go to the bar next? I thought we’d spend more time--

9.)

(Karl has finally taken notice of Jack, who looks very ill.)

KARL: Are you Okay?

10.)

(In the hall to Karl's apartment, Karl is working the key while Jack clutches himself in an effort not to hurl.)

KARL: Must’ve been the rare meat--

JACK: Don’t even -glk-- talk about it!

11.)

(Karl doesn't look like he's taking this seriously enough and Jack looks panicked.)

KARL: Oh. Uh. Just one moment.

12.)

 (Karl is moving armloads of dirty laundry around. Jack speaks from off-panel.)

KARL: I just didn’t expect to have a guest, hah! It’s uh, it’s a little messy!

JACK: Whatever! Just hurry!

13.)

(Karl holds the door while Jack is gripping the frame, looking desperate, ill, and angry.)

KARL: It’s more sanitary than it looks. I swear.

JACK: Can I come in?

KARL: I’m holding the door open.

JACK: Well can I or not?!

KARL: Sheesh, come in already!

14.)

(Karl embraces his cat while offscreen Jack is making noise. Karl looks sensitive, the cat impassive and ready to make a mess.)

BARFIN JACK: BLLEEHH

KARL: Well Molly, this could be going worse, huh?

MOLLY: *BLRK*
