Rock The Vouhhhnn!, Chapter 5: Part 1.1

Page 104 (Chapter 5, Page 1)

Panel 1: We open on Nate sitting in the lobby of Z-Farms the last time we saw him at the beginning of Chapter 4, reading a newspaper alongside someone else in a light IU sweater who's checking something on their phone.

Caption (Narration, Nate)

Ah, the artist's life- waiting to see the perfect Z.

Panel 2: Cut to a short time later with Mr. Kelly standing in one of the stalls, listening on the edge of boredom as the trainer goes through the spiel. You can see a thick contract gripped in the trainer's right hand as they speak.

Caption (Cont., narration) Having to slog through a 50 minute instructional lecture on maintaining and upkeeping the Z, as well as the bland intricacies of the HH system (half of which I actually listened to).

Panel 3: We move a short time later to the young man in a moving truck driving off with the procured Growler located in the back loading area. In the background, you can see a selection of other cars parked in the nearby area.

Caption (Cont., narration)

Then another 50 minutes driving back to Indianapolis a quarter past 11 at night. All fueled by caffeine, double Blengers, and...adrenaline maybe?

Panel 4: Cut to a two-part set of panels focused on Nate in the driver's seat, looking out at the road in front of him; an assortment of fast food wrappers placed on the top of the console/bottom of the panel view.

And all in the service of a two-hour show, seen by 60 people (on a good day). To some, that might seem like a lot of slog for little payoff. For me…

Panel 5: In the second part, a moment later, you can see a smile coming over his face. From out of panel view, you can hear a single "BEEP!" as his hand pushes a button on the car's console.

(Cont., narration)

...It just feels right!

Panel 1: We move to a three-part set of panels that focuses on the truck as it moves down the highway; each one snapped up from a different realm of time. In the first part, the landscape is mostly rural with a bit of housing development in the background. You can see in the top of the panel view the musical notes to Sublime's "Santeria."

Panel 2: The music continues in the second part, holding the same layout as the previous panel. In terms of differences between both, there's a little more development as well as a handful of more cars on the road as well. You can also see a few drones buzzing from right to left and vice versa below the musical notes.

Panel 3: In the final part, we see more of the downtown area fill up the bulk of the panel's setting. The cars on the road have increased compared to Panel 2, along with the increased pedestrian and public transportation that can be seen in the distance of the panel. As was the case in the other panels, you can see the sheet music floating in the top of the panel, trailing off as it reaches the edges of the right side of the panel view.
