A four panel comic featuring characters from Dune. Feyd-Rautha is a white teenage boy with brown curly hair. Piter is a short white person with dark brown hair and total blue eyes. Baron Harkonnen is a tall, fat white man with short red-brown curly hair.
Panel 1:
Baron (putting a hand on Feyd’s shoulder and looking at him with sincerity): Son? You are nearly a grown man. The future of our House is at a critical point, and you will inherit my victories and mistakes alike. It's time for you to sit in on *all* of my strategy meetings.
Panel 2:
The three of them are sitting next to each other at a table. The baron is in the middle. He has meeting notes, a pen, and a small notebook in front of him. He’s turning to his right at Piter, resting his chin on his fist and glaring. Piter is drinking a pink smoothie, and the only thing on the table in front of him is a cinnamon roll on a napkin. He’s talking animatedly and pointing for emphasis. Feyd-Rautha has a notebook and a pencil in front of him, and he’s looking at the ‘camera’ with an incredulous frown.
Panel 3:
At another meeting, Piter is standing between the baron and Feyd, in the middle of making corrections to a sheet of paper with a light blue pen that has a big pom pom attached to the end (it writes in blue ink). Everyone besides Piter looks bored.
Feyd (interrupting Piter): Okay, I’ll bite. Why ‘Taylor’s version’? It’s her own music? It’s redundant.
Piter: ...It’s because there’s a lost original version that nobody’s ever heard before. Now, Feyd, you’re supposed to be asking questions, but could you not interrupt next time?
Panel 4:
At another meeting, Piter is helping Feyd study for chemistry class while the baron writes a letter. An arrow pointing from the baron to Piter reads ‘silent treatment,’ and the baron looks quietly furious.
Piter (beaming and pointing in front of him in a lecturing gesture): How I remember the difference between the two types of ions is that 'cations' are *positively* charged, and I have a *positive* view of kitty cats.
Feyd (looking bored and restless): And if I have a *negative* view of kitty cats?
Piter: Oh... well, in that case, you’ll have to take it up with Benjamin Franklin.
