Transcript

Panel 1

Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian.

Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned?

Dora: Vulgar Language.

Panel 2

Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is.

Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES!

Panel 3

Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter.

Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude.

Panel 4

Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t".

Olivia: Now I have to read it.

Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

Hate to ask, but an October bill processed early and now I have only a 1$ until I get paid on the 1st and the cats need food. 20$ should cover it for the small bag of science diet that they're on for medical reasons. ko-fi.com/pilsberyjoeboy

It's less likely that you're doing something wrong and more you just haven't found a method that you're comfortable with yet, cause there's no wrong way to plot lol. Just gotta find what works for you.

I have a mess of ideas that accumulate over the course of weeks or months of aimless brainstorming, then I sit down, sketch out the big important scenes, and spend the entire rest of the time trying to figure out the connecting tissue between. This usually just resembles a big list of bullet points.
