Title Panel: Cursive text within a banner reads “4 things that have happened to me science I’ve been back in chicago” with a smaller banner under the first banner that says “depicted in stunning pink.” The comic is done entirely in ink wash, with pink outlines and varying shades of coloring.
Panels 1-6: A banner with cursive text reading “Number one,” Reilly (A girl with blonde curly hair) is shown with a thought bubble, reading “Jesus Christ it is way too early to be outside.” The next panel shows Reilly again, with a new thought bubble that reads “Like seriously what is the point.” The next panel has someone yelling at Reilly, the text bubble reading “Excuse me.” The next panel shows the back of Reilly’s head with an adult man in a T-shirt talking to her, his speech bubble reads “I’m gay…And I love your hair.” There is a beat of silence, and both characters remain in the same position. In the next panel, the man has a speech bubble that reads “Shake my hand.” Reilly does not react.
Panels 7-9: Above both panels, there is another banner that reads “Number two.” The first panel depicts Reilly, and her roommate Laura, a girl with big round glasses and short black hair. They are standing outside of a Target with a big moving cart. Within the cart there is a box that reads “Couch in-a-box, 1000 pieces.” Reilly has a speech bubble that says “One says this will all be worth it.” The second panel shows the same two girls on a couch, with Addie in the middle (a girl with a short blond pixie cut) with three speech bubbles that read “Okay this is everything,” “Your TVs still on the floor,” and “ It just doesn’t matter.”
Panels 10-11: Above the panels, there is another banner, with text reading “Number Three.” Reilly is crying sitting on a couch, with a speech bubble reading “This whole thing is so stupid, he’s making me feel so crazy.” Laura is next to her on the couch, holding a phone; her speech bubble says “He’s the one that should feel stupid.” The phone she is holding has a speech bubble coming out of it with a picture of Liberty-Bell (a girl with short black hair) and her boyfriend Eric, (a boy with a mustache, curly hair, and a bandana). Liberty-Bell has a speech bubble that says “Yeah, he’s the crazy one!” The second panel shows the same group of people, Reilly is still crying, with a speech bubble that reads “No, I’m just gonna be sad forever.” Eric is shown with his finger up in a sassy manner, with a speech bubble reading “Girl, You are too good for him!” The third panel shows, Laura, Reilly, and Liberty-Bell looking at a confused Eric, Liberty-Bell has a speech bubble that says, “Eric, dont talk,” Eric is shown looking like he was shut up.
Panels 12-13: There is a banner above the last two panels that says “Number Four.” The first panel shows Reilly sitting on the train with a thought bubble that says “I can’t believe I just saw two hot Trader Joe employees bagging gelato in sync!” The next panel shows a close up of her face with a thought bubble that reads “I am so happy to be back.” The comic ends with a banner that says “The End.”
