Transcript:

Panel 1: A Draft registration card with a United States seal. The eagle holds arrows in both claws. The card is burning, and fire obscures much of the text. It reads,

“REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE/ No. 96/GREETINGS, THESE PRESENTS ATTEST that in accordance with the proclamation of the President and in compliance with law, Henry Robert Shaw, Portsm-/ Precinct 1 of Rockingham County state of NH/ Has submitted himself to registration and – duly/ this 13 Day of Oct, 2022”

Panel 2:  Three punks stand around as one burns his draft card. One wears a “refused” shirt and the other a battle vest. The one burning his draft card wears a black battle jacket, and smokes a cig. He says,

“Working tirelessly for a ceasefire my ass.”

Panel 3: The three are sitting in a backyard behind a house. Out from a bulkhead a fourth figure comes, with music notes coming from the basement. “What’re you guys doing?” he asks as he emerges. The rest of the panel reads,

“Burning bullshit draft cards.”

“Your numbers get pulled?”

“Nah, but they’re pulling 2004 kids next.” the one in the “refused” shirt replies, pointing with a beer in hand.

“Shit.”

“Yeah.”

Panel 4:  The fourth individual who emerged from the basement joins the group, and looks down at the battle-vest wearing punk and talks to him.

“You ready to go on?”

“Yeah…yeah…” “you two coming too”

Panel 5: Close up on the face and shoulders of the card-burning punk. His cigarette dangles out of his mouth.

“Yeah in a jif” “Don’t wanna burn their house down”

Panel 6: The 4th person returns to the basement, and the other two punks stand up to go down into the bulkhead. The one in the “refused” shirt replies,

“Heh heh alright man” “I’ll see you in the PIT haha”

Panel 7: A closeup on a hand as it holds the last shred of the burning draft card. The tip of his thumb is slightly burned,

“Yeah…yeah…” he whispers

Panel 8: Worm’s eye view of a leather boot walking away. The last person has dropped his draft card on the grass, smoldering.
