Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Melanie is intensely tapping away on her phone, while surrounded by stacks of comic books. Andrea looks surprised.
Andrea: "What's all this, Melanie?"
Melanie: "Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, and I'm trying to plan my route to all the local comic book shops."
Panel 2: Andrea looks unsure, while Melanie flips around a comic book she was holding in her non-phone hand. Also in the panel, Mr. Sprinkles is seen glaring at Melanie, and Kay is sitting on a stack of comics, eating a cookie.
Andrea: "Isn't that a lot of work for some free comics?"
Melanie: "Andrea, it's not just about free comics! It's about sharing a love of comics, meeting the creators, and exploring different art styles and points of views!"
Panel 3: Andrea is surprised at Melanie's answer, and Melanie is happily tapping away on her phone. Meanwhile, Mr. Sprinkles has a mischievious smile as he knocks over a stack of comic books. Neither girl notices this.
Andrea: "Wow, I never thought about it that way!"
Melanie: "Right! So here's a text with a map and a list of the free comics I'm looking for. Each store has a limit per person."
Panel 4: Andrea gives Melanie a disapproving look, while Melanie looks a little taken aback. Mr. Sprinkls has a paw up as if he's about to knock down another stack of comics, and Kay flies in between Andrea and Melanie, excitedly.
Melanie: "What? I'll be buying some comics too! Really!"
Kay: "Do they have free cookies too?!"
