PANEL 1
Jeffers looking up at John, he looks sad and leaning on one arm.
JOHN
Honestly Jeffers, I just forgot I had used that one already for you. It wasn't intentional. It was just a mistake ya know?
CAPTION
That is true.
PANEL 2
Find new pick
JOHN
Once I realized I was repeating a joke, and so soon within the pages of the book, I just felt...I duunno man, down? I knew you would realize it. I just didn't realize there would be this existential crisis about it with two pages of us discussing it.
JOHN
Like is this therapy for a comic creator? Talking to your creations withing the pages of your comic?
PANEL 3
Jeffers face
JEFFERS
I wouldn't say that man, not at all.v
JOHN
It's not therapy?
JEFFERS
No, that your a comic creator.
CAPTION
Ouch.
PANEL 4
Jeffers looking up from the keyboard area
JEFFERS
Dude, come on. You are a dick and fart hoke writer of a silly comic with characters you just copy and paste around pre-made sets. Get a hold of yourself and get back to making the comics!
JEFFERS
And stop repeating jokes!
PANEL 5
Same as panel 4, move Jeffers some, new facial expression. Maybe him walking.
JOHN (OFF PANEL)
Yeah yeah, I know. No one wants to read about the authors issues. They just want more stupid jokes and puns.
JEFFERS
That's the spirit! Good talk, I'm gonna go back now.
JOHN (OFF PANEL)
Bye Jeffers. Stop by anytime.
CAPTION
I need friends that I didn't make up in a comic based on friends I used to bave.
