Comic on The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant by W.D. Wetherell
Storyboard Tekst
As he was trying to hide the fishing rod, a fish hooked on to his rod. And not just any fish, it was the biggest bass he has ever gotten. He tried his best to hide it from Sheila.
Look. I can get dad's car.
I think fishing's dumb. I mean, it's boring and all. Definitely dumb.
The next night, he polished his canoe, prepared it for her, and even brought a fishing rod.
He watched Sheila everyday. He knew every mood she was in. She was a little older than him, but he still liked her.
One day, when they were playing softball, he got the nerve to asker her out.
Hey, I'm going home in Eric's car.
There’s a band in Dixford tomorrow night at nine. Want to go?
And when she did look, he showed off his best flips and dives.
The rest of the night, he couldn't focus because he let the fish go. He danced with her a few times, but he didn't remember much.
Then she was gone, and he never got that bass...
It's safe. I won't tip or anything.
WHAT!?
But eventually, he cut the line and let the fish go so he didn't embarrass himself Infront of Sheila.
We'll go by canoe.
As they were on their way, they started talking about fishing. And Sheila said something that he did not like.
