The woman is in front; the two men are talking to each other.<\/p>\n<p>NECKTIE: Maybe she&#8217;s bitter because he didn&#8217;t call her the next day.<br \/>\nBEARD: She could be saying it for attention.<\/p>\n<p>PANEL 2<br \/>\nThe same three people walking; we can see the woman looks annoyed as she listens to the two men talk. Necktie is looking up into the air a bit and scratching his chin thoughtfully; Beard is enthusiastic.<\/p>\n<p>NECKTIE: Maybe she was drunk and imagined the whole thing.<br \/>\nBEARD: Yes! She could be delusional.<\/p>\n<p>PANEL 3<br \/>\nIn the foreground, a tire swing hangs from a tree branch, and there&#8217;s a stream. In the background, the same three people continue their walk. Teh woman looks really annoyed now; Necktie is holding his arms out in a declaratory fashion as he makes his point; Beard is holding up a forefinger to make a point.<\/p>\n<p>NECKTIE: Maybe she made the whole thing up in a jealous rage!<br \/>\nBEARD: It could be a conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p>PANEL 4<br \/>\nThe woman has stopped walking and turned back to address the two men. The two men are infuriated, yelling, Necktie actually jumping up and pointing.<\/p>\n<p>WOMAN: Maybe he raped her.<br \/>\nNECKTIE: HOW DARE YOU!?!<br \/>\nBEARD: THAT&#8217;S COMPLETELY IMPLAUSIBLE!<\/p>\n<p>KICKER PANEL<br \/>\nA small panel below the bottom the strip shows the three of them; the woman is rolling her eyes, Necktie is speaking a bit angrily, and Beard, looking a bit smug, makes a point.<\/p>\n<p>NECKTIE: It&#8217;s wrong to ruin someone&#8217;s life with unproven smears!<br \/>\nBEARD: Unless that someone is a woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you enjoy these cartoons, please help me make more by supporting my Patreon.
