The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Large panel, showing the city's 'Central Park,' which looks a lot like New York City's Central Park, with various types of trees, shrubbery, birds, squirrels, etc. The natural beauty is overwhelming. We can see a several people strolling about, walking dogs, having picnics. Reggie and Babbette are standing over at the lower-right 'rule of thirds' vertex, looking about them in hushed reverie.
Caption: Central Park was one of Venusville's favorite attraction for Reggie and Babbette – ironically, due to its similarity to Terra.
Caption: There were similar parks on the other worlds, but none of them could magically transport one back to Terra. The trees would be strangely drawn upwards and one felt too damned light.
Caption: But Venus' 0.9 gee, combined with the smell of hibiscus and other Earthly scents, made Reggie and Babbette homesick for the big blue ball they left behind so many years before. On the first visit, they were hushed into a silent, heart-aching reverie.
Caption: Afterward, they spent at least some part of each day strolling in this park.
