While Rachel’s Away, Tuna Will Play, Page 3

PANEL 1

Rachel opens the door dramatically while Tuna sits smugly on a pedestal labeled "Thou Shalt Have No Other Goddesses Before Me"

SFX: OPEN

PANEL 2

Rachel and Tuna stand amid the wreckage of the apartment - papers, spilled items, and mess everywhere.

RACHEL: "Um... Um..."

TUNA: "This is awkward."

PANEL 3

Rachel stands shocked while Tuna looks nervously at the destroyed room.

RACHEL: "We seem to have been burgled!"

PANEL 4

Rachel gives Tuna a bath as punishment while he dramatically protests. A rubber duck floats nearby.

TUNA: "No! Not a bath! The water!"

TUNA: "It burns! I'm melting!"

TUNA: "DAMN YOU!!"

RACHEL: "Serves you right!"

The End.

Second panel is priceless. Tuna is such a blast to draw. As for that last panel, Rachel’s punishments for Tuna always involve water, usually holy water. (The idea is that Tuna’s not a really real cat. He’s special. Only Rachel and people under the influence can hear him, and he has an aversion to holy water. I never planned to explain this.)
