PANEL ONE
Outside the apartment building, the firefighters are arriving. We see a couple of them hustling with the hoses, but one of
them is talking to the neighbor who was next to Peter on the last page.
FIREFIGHTER: Is anybody else inside?
NEIGHBOR 2: Uh, just Peter from 4C, I think? Ran inside a second ago, said something about a --
PANEL TWO
The neighbor suddenly points to the apartment building.
NEIGHBOR 2: DOG!
PANEL THREE
Peter staggers out of the flames, carrying a large dog -- I’m thinking an Alaskan Malamute, but you gotta draw it, Scott, so

gone to get it.
BAGEL: wuff
PETER: >KOFF KOFF KOFF<

PANEL FOUR
The old woman is overjoyed. She’s taking the dog away from Peter as he doubles over, coughing. The firefighter has joined

PETER: No, I -- >koff koff< -- Just me an’ the -- >KOFF HAK< -- dog…
PANEL FIVE
Peter has his hand on the firefighter’s shoulder for support now.
PETER: >KOFF KOFF RETTTCH<
FIREFIGHTER: Son, are you all right?
PANEL SIX
Peter falls to the ground, his hand dragging down the firefighter’s uniform as he collapses, passing out. The panel around
him is even dimming at the edges, as though we’re seeing it through tunnel vision.
PETER/SHAKY: yeah… just…
