The Aftermath by Hali Kleinfeld.
Transcript:
An assortment of polaroid photos and two smartphones is strewn across the page, each portraying the events of what looks to be a night, or multiple nights, of partying. A friendship bracelet and loose change is also strewn amongst the images. The polaroid photos make up the “panels” of this comic.
The first polaroid shows several hands clinking their glasses together, as if they’re making a toast. It is captioned with the title of the piece, THE AFTERMATH. The second polaroid features people drinking and playing card games on the floor with the caption “by hali kleinfeld.” The third panel, an iPhone this time, shows a photo of three people in a kitchen, two of them hugging and the other flipping off the camera. The fourth panel, another polaroid, shows two people leaning on each other, one of them with a traffic cone on their head. The last polaroid on this page is on top of a pile of loose change and shows someone on the floor of a bathroom surrounded by empty beer bottles.
The second page features two more polaroids, one with somebody smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer while the other is just a pile of empty bottles. There is a smartphone on the right side of the page showing what looks to be a photo of somebody crowd surfing at a concert. The second-to-last polaroid contains a hand holding a cigarette and a beer with the caption “sigh…” The final polaroid shows the character we’ve seen partying in the previous photos, this time saying “now I have to clean…”
