Transcript:
BANNER LOGO: The Loves of Abby Amour
PANEL 1:
SCENE: Abby Amour has her hand over her face and doesn’t feel well.
CAPTION: Abby is heading to the hospital…after eating some bad eggplant.
SOUND AFFECT: URPPP!
PANEL 2:
SCENE: Colonel Bluster is smoking a pipe and is lost in thought.
COL. BLUSTER thinks: Lt. Amour must have enjoyed our dinner. She sent me an eggplant emoji. I’ll invite her to that new Mexican place. Ah, there’s a taco emoji.
(We see a taco in his thought balloon.)
CAPTION: Alas, neither Abby nor Colonel Bluster…have even a basic grasp…of emoji slang.

Too many jokes, I can’t even!
So, I’ll go another way: maybe don’t send food emojis to someone on the way to the hospital because of bad eggplant?
Guess I’m the first on here, so I’ll start:
Thanks to my fellow vets, especially the veteran veterans, those who have been in at the sharp end.
