CHAPTER 2, PAGE 7
(Transcript and visual captions below}

They'd driven down a slow side road, winding around and around hills, no other cars in sight. Jack walked out on to the road, nervous at first, but soon realized he could hear a car coming from a mile away. Quite literally now.

In which Vitus feels guilty about carbon emissions.

The fire from his car was meager, and not at all as exciting as it seemed in movies. There was no explosion, but the smoke was thick and tarry. Jack wondered how long it would take anyone to notice the broken railing, would he be 'missing' for long? He'd already been gone for a day, didn't call in sick to work. He briefly imagined his body crisping in the wreckage as he dutifully followed Vitus to his car.

I really hate drawing cars, so it was nice to destroy that one that vexed me so. If you ever wonder if I'm ever copying and pasting panels to save time, you've got me confused with someone much more clever. I redraw that stupid Harlan Ballers shirt every time. Sighhhh. If you want to know what an obsessive person I am -- I noticed in the last page I forgot to draw the hole in Vitus' jeans, so I went back and added it in to every panel and re-uploaded it. Ah me.

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

JACK: I'm not even gonna ask...

VITUS: Good. Saves time.

VITUS: Take any souvenirs, you'll never see this car again.

JACK: ...Fine. Not like it's my dream vehicle.

VITUS: Be right back.

VITUS: There's lots of accidents here, maybe they'll install a better railing now.

JACK: So wait, the bag... 'kill me?' You 'killed' me?

VITUS: Yeah. You're dead in more ways than one now. They'll find your car, teeth, enough to confirm. Jack Ballard is no more.

JACK: Why?! I can't go home now?!

VITUS: No 9 to 5 at least. Sorry. You can stay with us.

JACK: But--!
