PAGE 186

Panel 1

Spiff has cornered a Seaman who looks turned on but also terrified of her. Spiff is practically pushing the bottle of oil into his hand.

SPIFF: You! Want to get my skin all shiny?

SEAMAN: Uh, well, the other day I looked in your direction for too long and you said if you caught me staring at your boobs again you’d “tear off my worm and learn to fish with it.”

SPIFF: Well, that was Wednesday, this is Thursday.

SEAMAN: It’s...Monday…

Panel 2

Peggy pushes the relieved Seaman aside and takes the oil bottle from Spiff. The Seaman looks very enthused to escape.

PEGGY: Here, I shall do this for you.

SEAMAN: Thanks, Peggy.

SPIFF: Yes, many thankies, Peggy!

PEGGY: I desire to have a little chat with…

Panel 3

Peggy turns at the sound of his name, looking upset and somewhat despondent. Spiff has no idea what she has said wrong.

PEGGY: What did you call me?

SPIFF: Peggy!

PEGGY: Why?

SPIFF: Everyone calls you that.

Panel 4

Inset on Peggy’s face, shadowed and dark and processing.

PEGGY: Not...everyone.

Panel 5

Peggy walks away, leaning on his peg leg significantly. Spiff shrugs and starts to pour the oil down her back like a porn star.

PEGGY: I’m afraid I must be off, actually...food needs...food things…

SPIFF: Fine, then I’m going to oil my back myself so someone is going to need to bring a mop!
