Das Boots, Page 4

PAGE 1, PANEL 1

Close-up of the platform boots Rachel chose, with a size 11 box visible.

NARRATION: "Finally I settled on this pair and managed to cram them into my suitcase for the bus trip back home."

NARRATION: "Alas, the highest women's size they had was 11—one size lower than my size 12 feet. So, they have always fit a little too close for comfort."

Tuna comments while looking at Rachel's boots.

TUNA: "I like how the platforms make you five inches taller."

PAGE 1, PANEL 3

Rachel, dressed in a cat-themed Halloween costume with the boots, poses while Tuna watches.

RACHEL: "Maybe... Maybe I need a new pair of boots."

TUNA: "Huh? Why? These are hot on you!"

TUNA: "I look forward to Halloween every year just because you wear these boots!"

TUNA: "Well that, and I get candy."

Rachel explains the fit problem while Tuna listens with a jack-o-lantern nearby.

RACHEL: "Yeah... but they don't fit right. I should get some shoes that actually fit me."

TUNA: "Where are you going to find a pair of size 12 boots like these?"

In real life, I later auctioned the boots in favor of a pair that actually fit me. Now a lovely young man wears them to conventions
