This is page 20 of Bubbles, a short comic I wrote some years ago. It was illustrated by erosarts . You can find the comic in a slider version here and in long-page versions in many different languages here . You can also get a high-resolution downloadable version from the Internet Archive . If you're interested in audio content, I have also done a prose adaptation of the story and included in my podcast, which you can access here .
