Panel 1: The Sphinx lays in a flat, minimal landscape. Eyes closed, she begins her riddle; “I sleep but do not dream-” she is interrupted by a figure not seen. The figure says; “AN OLD MAN”

Panel 2: The interrupting figure–a bird-like creature–continues to rattle off answers; “A RIVER…A NET…A HORSE NAMED FRIDAY…A SPONGE…YOUR MOM”. The Sphinx is shocked; “!”.

Panel 3: It is now night with the moon in the upper right corner. The figure continues; “A HOLE…TWENTY…SALT LAKE CITY…THE MAILMAN…OCTOBER”. The Sphinx attempts to speak again; “if you let me finish…”. Her tail swats back and forth in irritation.
