Masturbators Anonymous, Page 4

PANEL 1

Rachel stands confidently in a doorway, addressing a group. The night sky with stars is visible outside.

RACHEL: "Hello, my name is Rachel, and I'm a chronic masturbator!"

PANEL 2

A group of people sit in chairs at what appears to be a support group meeting. They look confused. There's a bald man, a bearded man, and others.

BEARDED MAN: "Lady, this is Alcoholics Anonymous."

PANEL 3

Rachel speaks to a man in a suit who looks skeptical. A woman with curly hair stands nearby.

RACHEL: "I know, but I really need help. I thought maybe I could do the twelve steps, only with masturbation."

MAN IN SUIT: "Why would you want to quit masturbating?"

CURLY-HAIRED WOMAN: "You're lucky you still can.*"

FOOTNOTE

*Alcohol abuse can wreak havoc on your sex life.

And here I tried to show that alcoholics in a community aren’t necessarily the scruffy bummy types. Many normal, upstanding people have drinking problems. I tried to slip that kind of acceptance in here and there.
