TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is staring up at the sky.
RAYNE
I think I want to be an auctioneer.
NEXT PANEL, RAYNE smiles mischievously.
RAYNE
But the one who talks real slow-like.
NEXT ROW
OUTSIDE. DAD is mowing the grass, while RAYNE is bored.
RAYNE
How come we don’t have a lake nearby?
RAYNE grimaces.
RAYNE
Or a creek?
RAYNE
Or even a pond?
DAD
Because we live in the suburbs.
RAYNE looks around.
RAYNE
What do we have here then?
DAD
Expensive gas and a mall.
RAYNE sighs.
RAYNE
If Mark Twain were still alive, he’d have nothing to write about.
DAD
We still have racism!
