You Might Be a Subculture of One If… III, Page 2

PANEL 1

Rachel sits at a coffee shop counter looking desperate, reaching toward a barista who holds a coffee container. A small bowl with steam sits nearby.

NARRATOR: ...you have a caffeine problem.

BARISTA: "...need..."

RACHEL: "...chai..."

The coffee container is labeled "COFFEE"

Price tag shows "5¢"

PANEL 2

Rachel aggressively lunges across the counter at the barista, who looks alarmed.

NARRATOR: ...you have a sugar problem.

RACHEL: "Give me all your sugar..."

RACHEL: "NOW!"

The barista clutches a coffee container labeled "COFFEE"

BARISTA: "Lady, you need help."

Price tag shows "5¢"

PANEL 3

Rachel sits across from a man at a table covered with Magic: the Gathering cards. She looks triumphant while the man appears defeated but friendly. He's holding up a knitted scarf.

NARRATOR: ...you excel at something not associated with your gender.

RACHEL: "I win again!"

MAN: "I finished your scarf!"

Label at bottom: "Magic: the Gathering"

PANEL 4

Rachel stands between library bookshelves, looking dreamily at a man who stands nearby. The scene suggests romantic daydreaming.

NARRATOR: ...you fantasize about making out in the library.

So I guess Rachel and Calvin are officially making out in libraries at this stage. I wish I could have drawn it out a little more, *Boys Over Flowers-*style. But I probably just didn’t want to leave the series with Rachel never getting some sweet action.
