PANEL ONE: BIG MIKE is very excited, leaning forward on the table to express his joy. DAVE high-fives him.

MIKE:
Man, this makes our game so much more exciting!

DAVE:
You got that right!

PANEL TWO: CRAIG is enthusiastic, but JIM looks bothered.

CRAIG:
Plus, now that our parents know about our accidents, we’re sure to get a spot in the bedwetter’s dorm in college!

JIM:
Yeah…

PANEL THREE: JIM frowns, a close-up as he thinks about what’s bothering him.

JIM (narr):
I was happy at this news, but the truth is that something still bothered me.

PANEL FOUR: JIM looking at his friends as they laugh excitedly with each other in the background.

JIM (narr):
It’s not that I didn’t appreciate what my friends did for me, regressing themselves back to bedwetters and diaper boys…

PANEL FIVE: JIM is thinking about himself standing in wet pajamas looking at the big wet stain on his bed.

JIM (narr):
It was mostly that they all had a choice, and I was still a real bedwetter and had never figured out how to be dry.

PANEL SIX: JIM is being comforted by his MOM (a roundish woman in large glasses) but he looks unconvinced by what she is saying.

JIM (narr):
I’m smart. An actual genius. But I still wet my bed like a baby and I feel like I should have figured it out by now. My mom has said that maybe it’s because I’m so smart that other parts of my brain are slower to develop, but that doesn’t make me feel any better.
