This was the first comic I made in over three months after the COVID-19 lockdown started. Inspiration was hard to come by during those first few months. This is not the greatest joke in the world, but I’m glad I got something out there.

Transcript
- Panel 1 : Int. Living Room – Evening
-
Kevin slumps on the couch, playing a video game. His eyes sleepy. His hair disheveled. He hasn’t shaved. Empty delivery container, dirty laundry, and trash are strewn everywhere. He’s wearing sweatpants and only one sock – that has a hole in it.
- Panel 2 : Int. Living Room – Alternate Timeline
-
Kevin sits perfectly erect on the same couch in a bright orange hazmat suit. His living room is sparkling clean. His face is frozen in a wide, toothy smile of anxiety. Sweat beads on his brow. On the endtable sits a single glass of red wine. He’ll never drink it.
