The Community, Issue 7: Part 1.3
Page 161 Panel 1: Back to Seanna in the present on the computer, putting together their class schedule for the next semester. You can see the guidebook resting on their lap which the young person uses as a reference. You can also hear a "DING!" off-panel from the screen.

"The Americans seems a good place to focus. Their military does have an affinity for shiny new toys."
Panel 2: Cut to a shot of a text bubble that pops up on a separate window on the screen. It's from Lynn- she's asking, "They're playing The Nightmare Before Christmas at Tower Theater tonight..."
Panel 3: We move to a shot of Lynn at the gym at this same moment, operating a chest press machine. You can see her phone ringing a short time later; a text bubble popping up from that same area showing Seanna's response- "Yass- both to movie theaters open, and to good yuletide Goth goodness!."
Panel 4: A two-part set of panels that moves back to Seanna in the same setting/layout as Panel 1. In the first one, you can see a half-grin over their face as they read the response- "Lol! So...you up to catching it with me?"
Panel 5: In the second part, moments later, we see Watkins typing up their response. In the background off-panel, you can hear the sound of the front door opening. The text bubble reads- "Of course! My brain could use a rest after sifting through course listings."
ANNA
(Off-Panel, to Seanna) Honey!

Panel 1: Action shot of Anna holding four bags of groceries (two in each hand); her hips closing the door behind her. She glances over to the right in Seanna's direction as she calls to them.
ANNA
(Cont., to Seanna) There's a few bags at the door I need your help with.
Panel 2: Back to Seanna in the same setting/layout as the end of the previous page. They glance over to the left of the panel view, standing up as they respond; the course book in their right hand, drifting down on the keyboard.
SEANNA
(to Anna) Be right there, Mom.
Panel 3: The two of them cross a few beats later; the front door visible in the background. The young person glances at one of their mom's bags, noticing something interesting in one of them.
SEANNA
(sniffs; big grin) Ham and Bean burritos: man, I've missed that Christmas tradition!
ANNA
(correcting) It's not quite ham, as you remember it.
SEANNa
(Bubble 2) Oh?
Panel 4: Slight close-up on Ms. Watkins' face, glancing back at her son's direction as she makes her way to the kitchen finishing the rest of her thought.
ANNA
(Cont.) It's a new imitation meat called Figgy- Fake Pig. Tofu, sea salt, acorn plants, some vitamins.
Panel 5: At the doorway, Seanna glances over in her mother's direction to listen to the rest of her explanation. You can see the grocery bags floating off the ground at this moment, and a little platform starting to form underneath.
ANNA
(Cont., Off-Panel) I know the name's a bit goofy--
SEANNA
(interjection) --to say the least.
ANNA
(Bubble 2) But it is really good.
SEANNA
I'll take your word for it.
(thought bubble) If they improved off Beyond Meat, should be pretty awesome. Hopefully.
Panel 6: Rear shot of Watkins walking back into the apartment; groceries placed comfortably on a hovering platform as he does. You can see little sections of the hallway on both sides of the panel view.
