Bold and Ostentatious Title

Picture three squiggly frames. On a regular day, these would be the panels within which Dill details the events occurring during the latest few minutes of his ten year old lifetime. But, not today. It appears that a portal leading to a new dimension was opened, thus translating the essence of this comic into mere words. He attempts to speak, in the first panel, but instead of the usual speech bubble a series of sentences emerge. The expression on his rectangular head evokes exaggerated confusion as his mouth contorts and one of his eyes grows disproportionately large.

"What in the everlasting Cheez Whiz?" he cries, arms raised high in the air.

Suddenly, in the second panel, a winged sign, hovering in the distanced reads "THE END".

"Neat, a way out!" a thought bubble, perched well above his head, underlines the surprise conveyed by his cheek-stretching smile. Unfortunately, that way out soon disappears in the third panel, as a "Poof!" surrounded by tiny fluffy clouds indicates. He stares at where it once floated, both confused and annoyed. Little does he notice the indication at the bottom that reads "To be continued..."
