Panel 1 : Int. Apartment – Day

Kevin, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying luggage, stands in the doorway of his house. His bird greets him with raised wings.

Bird
Hey hey! Welcome back from vacation!
Kevin
Thanks! What did I miss?
Panel 2 : Int. Apartment – Continuous

Kevin’s bird ponders.

Bird
Let’s see… He renamed it “X”, but he doesn’t own the trademark. So there probably a bunch of lawsuits coming. Also: he limited the number of tweets you can read without paying.
Panel 3 : Int. Apartment – Continuous

Kevin’s smile fades. His face ages as he listens to his bird go on.

Bird
Oh! And he started paying people to post, but you have to subscribe first – which kinda sounds like a pyramid scheme?
Panel 4 : Int. Apartment – Continuous

Kevin turns around and walks away, dragging his luggage with him. His bird calls after him.

Bird
…and did I mention he wants us to use it as a banking app? BECAUSE HE WANTS US TO USE IT AS A BANKING APP!
Bonus Panel 1 : Ext. Beach – Later

Now at the beach at sunset, Kevin drags his luggage behind him as he walks into the ocean.

Bonus Panel 2 : Ext. Beach – Later

Kevin is gone under the water. All that’s left are his footsteps and the drag marks of his luggage.

I’m making a comic strip about us!

Sure… But besides that, it’s basically Garfield.

Panel 1 : Ext. Beach – Day

Kevin walks out onto a crowded beach on a sunny day. Wearing black trunks, a black shirt, and black sunglasses with a towel slung around his shoulder, he looks around non-challantly.

Panel 2 : Ext. Beach – Continuous

Kevin starts to take off his shirt. Revealing his white belly.

Panel 3 : Int. Beach – Continuous

The sun reflects off Kevin’s white belly so hard, he becomes a supernova. The white-hot blast incerates the people closest too him. Further away, folks scream, shielding their eyes from the bright flash. Birds drop from the sky. One guy’s face starts to melt off.
