Subtitle: Hand-Job.

Surface: Moleskine A4 notebook.
Pen: Pilot/Namiki Vanishing Point, fine nib.

Debit: Carnage continues?

Molly: This is not a carnage. This is a hand-job.

Vickie: Whaaaaat? But I don't see any man-thing around here. You know ... hand-job involves ... *ahem*

Molly: You have a very naughty thought, Vickie. Your parents will be shocked if they find out how naughty their daughter has become.

Vickie: Hey!

Molly: Just kidding. Who says that hand-job requires a man-thing? There is no such rule.

Vickie: Yeah. But I bet this kind of hand-job will scare the living daylight out of men.

Molly: Apparently, all of our targets have been males so far. Might as well enjoy our misandrist 'shock & fury' while we are stuck in this chapter.

Vickie: Don't tell me if we still have a lot more body counts to go through in this chapter.

Overall:

1. It is Mr. Roughwallop's #3 Lookout's turn. Since 'tit-job' and 'nut-job' have already been used, and I do not like drawing something repetitive, how about ... 'hand-job'?!?

2. This #3 man seems to be getting a better treatment than the first two. Get it over with quickly by snapping his neck. Molly can be kind in times like this.

3. The first three panels show the nurses' hands all over the man. They were included as a visual device to emphasize the point that he is totally surrounded and no chance of escape.

******

First panel:

1. The three nurses set the tone for this page. Even without the rest of the panels, there is no question as to what these nurses are up to. You generally do not close in on someone and overwhelm him with sheer numbers unless you have something hostile in mind.

2. Mr. Lookout #3 is clinching his teeth. He is bracing for ....

******

Second panel:

1. These nurses certainly do not fool around and get to the business. No wonder why he is clinching his teeth; one of the nurses is grabbing his head.

2. Once his sunglasses are removed, we get to see his state of mide. His eyes show utter disbelief.

******

Third panel:

1. Hand-job in progress!

2. His eyes have evolved beyond utter disbelief; they are shocked. Both his eyes and tongue are almost popping out; visually emphasizing the fact that he is ...... finished!

******

Last panel:

1. His pose appears ridiculously awkward. While his back is facing up, his face is also facing up. This is a blatant violation of human anatomy. On the other hand, as a cartoonist, I can violate such a principle as a means of exaggeration. Hey ... kids do this sort of anatomical violations all the time while playing with action figures! (Some action figures have fully swiveling joints, including the head.)

2. As already having been encountered in the last panels of the previous two pages, the boots and their shadows are included as a visual reference; he is lying on the ground.
