Chapter 2 – Page 056

Panel 1:
POXBOi stares down from atop his tower, smirking.
POXBOI: Cute, your puppetmaster thinks I’m the boss.
POXBOI: But which one of us is standing in the middle of the arena like a big punchable chump, walking along predictable rails in repetitive patterns?
Panel 2:
Nancy stares back at POXBOi.
POXBOI (off-panel): I’m the hero!
POXBOI (off-panel): You’re the boss!
Panel 3:
POXBOi glares into frame, lobbing a firebomb into the picture behind him.
POXBOI: Soon you’ll be gone! Like Donkey Kong!
Panel 4:
POXBOi futzes out of being as the flames lick higher.
SI (speaker): Nancy, make him stop, his puns’re bloody agony.
Panel 5:
Nancy is silhouetted, looking around the empty chamber.
NANCY: Be happy to - where is he?!
SI (speaker): Uhhhh...left!
Panel 6:
Same view. POXBOi careens from stage left and lobs an explosive vial at Nancy. Nancy’s caught it, but is being propelled straight off the office roof by the force of the blast.
SI (speaker): No, don’t touch it-!
