Jaws O’ Death: Seized Up

Page 1: Seized Up

1. Panel 1

   In his cluttered laboratory, Doc Dork places a grocery list and ten-dollar bill between Jaws’ metal teeth. Jaws is a floating blond head without a body or limbs.

   Doc Dork: “Bread and milk. Bring me the change.”

2. Panel 2

   Jaws floats along a rainy Cleveland sidewalk, gripping the grocery list and money between his teeth.

   Jaws: “Ha! Rain doesn’t scare me.”

3. Panel 3

   Rust spreads over the jaw hinges. His jagged metal teeth clamp completely shut, pinching the soggy grocery list. A thought bubble shows his worried realization.

   Sound effect: KRRK!

   Jaws, thinking: “Uh oh. My jaws are stuck.”

4. Panel 4

   At the corner store, a clerk offers an oil can with a ten-dollar price tag. Jaws’ rusted teeth remain interlocked.

   Clerk: “You’re all rusted. I got just the thing…”

   Jaws: “MM.”

5. Panel 5

   The clerk oils the hinge, freeing Jaws’ mouth. The entire ten-dollar grocery allowance lies on the counter as payment.

   Sound effect: CLACK!

   Jaws: “There goes the grocery money.”

6. Panel 6

   Back in the laboratory, Dork throws up his hands. The oil can sits on the workbench. Jaws has returned without groceries or change.

   Doc Dork: “You spent ALL of it on oil?!”

   Jaws: “I don’t want to talk about it.”
