Panel one: according to the CDC, we should only have 50 people in a public space at one time. Yesterday I stood by the door to monitor the number of customers. Panel two: suddenly, unexpectedly, I saw a guy wearing a “they might be giants” sweatshirt: my favorite band of all time. Panel 3: it was a sweatshirt I had only ever seen on Ebay. Vintage. Rare. Niche. I couldn’t believe I was seeing it. I had to say something. Panel 4: sebastian: hey! I like your “they might be giants” shirt! Panel 5: *zooms in on his ear* narration: it was no use...AirPod. Panel 6: customer: Dude... haha you’re not gonna get his attention. He’s got AirPods dude. You have to... touch him. Panel 7:Sebastian: I...cant touch him! The pandemic-I’m not allowed. Customer: either you touch him, or he’ll never know you like his sweatshirt. You have to. Panel 8: *sebastian gets closer* Panel 9: *sebastian touches him, but barely* Panel 10: customer: hello? Panel 11: sebastian: hi! I, uh, love your sweatshirt, “they might be giants” are my favorite band- so cool that you have such a rare find, also I’m sorry for touching you, I’m wearing gloves, I’m asymptoma- Customer: “there may be giants?” Ive never seen that movie.
