  Panel 1

  Awakeman and Alamore continue their conversation about the town council, Major Condiment and Library Wizard.

  AWAKEMAN: So…

  ALAMORE: So, we kick them out.

  AWAKEMAN: But how?

  ALAMORE: By the book. Legitimately.

  AWAKEMAN (thinking to themself): That’s a relief.

  Panel 2

  AWAKEMAN (off panel): What do you mean?

  ALAMORE (off panel): We hold a secret town meeting and vote them out. Not actually secret, we just “forget” to invite them, and stack the rest of the votes.

  We see a General Notice of the form published in the classifieds section of a newspaper. It reads: “SEEKRUT TOWN MEETING - Sept 31, 7pm. Don’t tell Maj. Condiment or Libr. Wizard. Free refreshments.”

  ALAMORE: Then we just need one more thing…someone to elect!

  Panel 3

  AWAKEMAN: Wh–oh no. Me? No.

  ALAMORE: Who better?

  AWAKEMAN: Anyone!

  ALAMORE: Don’t you care?

  AWAKEMAN: Caring is why I resigned in protest!
