| Panel 1: Rose and Future Rose stand in a grey hallway, in front of a white door. Rose: They're in there. I can't quite hear what they're saying. Future Rose [counts down on her fingers]: That won't be a problem. Three...two... Panel 2: A tall man in his forties, who looks to be of Middle Eastern ancestry, appears. He's dressed in a brown jacket and grey slacks, and his hair is beginning to go white. He is waving a stethoscope. He lays a hand on Rose's arm and gently nudges her aside. And yes, West of Bathurst readers, it's Rahim Khan, so let's just call him that. Rahim: Excuse me. Panel 3: Rahim uses the stethoscope to eavesdrop on whatever is going on inside the room. Rahim: Casey's suggesting a Doctor Who marathon, and Weird Beard's agreeing. Panel 4: Rose jerks her thumb at Rahim. Rose: And who's this guy now? Future Rose: I'll make sure to find out. It's time for you to go back and talk to yourself ten minutes ago. Alt-Text: RAHIM! I'VE BEEN MISSING YOU FOR FIVE WHOLE YEARS! *snf* Special Anniversary Header: Floaty words read, "It Never Rains by Kari Maaren." Twelve tiny black-and-white cartoon drawings are ranged across the banner, connected by a rough representation of what looks like a path. They are: 1) Teenage Iz trips teenage Rose, who is walking by with her white cane; 2) Maggie sits on a blanket on the sidewalk, next to a sign reading, "It Never Rains Consulting $1"; 3) Jennifer holds a smoking flask, and the smoke floats up to encompass the next image; 4) Rose glares and points at Maggie. They are standing and facing each other, their white canes crossed between them; 5) Kris argues with Jennifer, who is taking notes; 6) Jacqueline is holding a microscope, though she doesn't look happy about it; 7) Rose, in a nightgown, sits on a bare floor in a room under construction, a question mark floating over her head; 8) Iz watches Rose with thoughtful suspicion as she tries to look innocent. Meanwhile, Jennifer, also suspicious, peeks around her, and her Aunt Barbara waves frantically at her from the sidelines; 9) Kristi, who is dressed in a trench coat, holds a magnifying glass. She has a determined look on her face; 10) Weird Beard stands with one hand on his hip and one pointer finger raised. Rose stares at him; 11) Casey leans on his cane and smiles a diabolical smile as Rose, dressed in a blouse, a full knee-length black skirt, and white socks, spreads her hands in bafflement; 12) Iz has a full-on phobic reaction as Denise holds a mouse out towards him. Rose, between them, shrugs. Go to commentary |
