Let's Chat!
You had the invisible ink. I just helped you see it.
You two. I have a problem. The classroom comic strip has a blank panel. I need a team to finish it. Partners?
Deal. Page 3 Panel 1: (The next day. The “Classroom Comic” is taped to the bulletin board. It shows Sir Reginald meeting Glimmerfang. A speech bubble from Glimmerfang says: “You had me at crunchy spiders!”)
(A close-up of the new comic panel they are drawing together: the ninja cat, the dragon, and Glimmerfang all sharing a slice of pizza. Underneath, in Leo’s handwriting: “The Best Recess Ever.”)
Hey Maya? Thanks for the invitation.
If only you were real, Glimmerfang. We could play.
(Leo pulls out his sketchbook. Maya pulls out her notebook. Three other kids lean in, suggesting ideas. Leo is drawing a new character: a shy ninja cat.)
(A crowd of kids is gathered around the comic, laughing and pointing. Leo is standing in the crowd, not apart from it. Maya is next to him.)
Whoa! Is that a wing-eyed snazzlewump?
