Escape From Terra - by Sandy Sandfort, Scott Bieser and Lee Oaks! - Big Head Press, publishing Thoughtful Stories since 2002

Panel 1
Re-establish the scene of Bert, Reggie and Guy at the conference table.

Caption: Guy Caillard is shocked when ‘King Reginald’ presents him with a claim against United World for 80 billion Continentals.

Guy: It says funds are to be paid to an account in the name of the King’s Court Unfortunates Fund.

Guy (2): How can that be? Much of the 80 billion is owed to individual citizens.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Reggie and Guy. Reggie looks like the cat that caught the canary. Guy looks trapped. Lots of dialog so leave room.

Reggie: All of Ceres is held in free socage to the King, who exercises only temporal dominion in his role of stewardship over the land for the people.

Reggie (2): So it all belongs to the Crown, one way or another.

Guy: But that’s not democratic --!

Panel 3
Pan left for a 2-shot of Bert and Reggie. Bert has risen to his feet, palms on table, in mock outrage, while also casting a sideways glance at Reggie. Reggie is looking distracted, not looking at Bert.

Bert: Doesn’t your UW tolerate and support all sorts of worthless royals on Terra?

Bert (2) Sorry, uh, Reginald, present company excepted.

Reggie: No offense taken, yadda yadda.
