PANEL 1
CONNOR: MIKI’S WHO I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU TO SEE AFTER YOU GOT CONKED ON THE HEAD. SHE’S OUR DOCTOR.
CONNOR: MIKI’S REAL SKILL, HOWEVER, IS TELLING PEOPLE OFF.
CONNOR: AND THE MORE GUILTY SHE FEELS ABOUT SOMETHING, THE MORE OTHER PEOPLE GET IT IN THE NECK. YOU WATCH.

PANEL 2
CONNOR: JACK’S THE SALVAGER. HE’S GOTTEN YOU YOUR ROPE AND STUFF.
CONNOR: HE USED TO WANDER THE AREA FOR STUFF, BUT HIM AND SIRKKA… WELL, THAT’S COMPLICATED.
CONNOR: COMPLICATED ENOUGH THAT NOW HE SPENDS MOST OF HIS TIME ON HIS BOAT.

PANEL 3
CONNOR: SIRKKA’S A SWEETHEART, MIND YOU. BUT SHE SAW DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES HERE THAN MOST OF US.
CONNOR: SHE’S ATTEMPTING TO REINVENT THE HUMAN RELATIONSHIP. LIVES WITH A HAREM. BOYS AND GIRLS.
CONNOR: JACK’S REALLY KIND OF SIMPLE AT HEART, AND SIRKKA TOTALLY ISN’T.

PANEL 4
CONNOR: KARL’S EVEN SIMPLER. HE WANTS TO GROW HIS FRUIT AND VEG AND BE LEFT ALONE, MOSTLY. TONIGHT’S SOMETHING OF A FREAK OCCURRENCE.
CONNOR: BUT SINCE YOU DON’T BROADCAST THOUGHTS, HE MIGHT LIKE YOU.
CONNOR: ALL THE GIRLS SAY THAT THREE DRINKS TURNS HIM INTO OCTOPUS MAN, BY THE WAY.
