A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.
Panel One: Drawing of six stick figures riding up an escalator.
Panel Two: Close up of two of the stick figures. One is wearing a hat and carrying a chin-up bar over his shoulder.
“This is a long escalator.”
“70 meters. Longest in the country.”
Panel Three: Close up of the same two stick figures riding up the escalator.
Panel Four: Close up of the same two stick figures.
“Why are you carrying a chin-up bar?”
“Why aren’t you wearing a hat?”
Panel Five: Drawing of original six stick figures riding up the escalator. The same two stick figures are speaking.
“I’m not really a hat person.”
“And I’m not really a not-carrying-a-chin-up-bar person.”
Panel Six: Close up of the stick figure not wearing a hat.
Panel Seven: Drawing of five of the original six stick figures riding up the escalator. The one in front has reached the top of the escalator. The same two stick figures are speaking.
“Seriously, why did you bring it?”
“How should I know? I’m not a psychologist.”
Panel Eight: View of the same two stick figures stepping off the escalator. The stick figure wearing a hat turns and, with a “twist, click, click,” snaps the chin-up bar across the opening of the up escalator.
Panel Nine: Drawing of the up and down escalators as seen from the top. The chin-up bar is blocking the exit of the up escalator as other stick figures approach. The stick figure wearing a hat and the stick figure not wearing a hat are riding the down escalator.
Panel Ten: Side view of the escalators. The stick figure wearing a hat and the stick figure not wearing a hat have nearly reached the bottom of the down escalator. Stick figures riding the up escalator raise their arms in alarm as many other stick figures come tumbling down toward them.
Hover text: The few who escaped found the emergency cutoff box disabled. The stampede lasted two hours and reached the bottom three times.
