Strip 47

Panel 1
Wide shot, a “main drag” in Ceres City, with lots of pedestrians and various store-fronts set cheek-by-jowl. It looks a bit more like a modern shopping mall than a city street, but there are various small vehicles weaving around the pedestrian traffic. Babbette the Younger is driving through in her golf cart with Guy and Fiorella in the back seat. Guy has his usual mildly annoyed look, Fiorella for once, is looking pleased.

Guy: ‘Shop till you drop,’ the woman said.

Fiorella: Why not? It’s a good way to better understand the local culture.

Panel 2
There is a dress shop, “Haute Couture de Dominique,” next to a gun shop, “Isher’s Fine Tobacco & Firearms”. Guy orders Babbette to stop the cart in front of the dress shop. Arrange the scene so the focus is on the dress shop, while the gun shop is still plainly visible.

Guy: Stop here, driver. Ms. Stellina would like to sample the local clothing styles.

Panel 3
The three walk into the boutique – Guy is still a bit unsteady but he’s improving. He smiles in anticipation.

Guy (thought bubbles): What woman can resist a fancy new dress? Maybe we’ll pick up some jewelry too, courtesy of King Reginald … and I’m sure I won’t be sleeping alone for long.
