Panel 1:
Over in Universe A, three days have gone by, and Iz A is right
back in the deepest of deep depressions. He lies listlessly on his
couch. He is dressed in a T-shirt and shorts. One of Mr. Jones's
minions, a young white woman with brown hair, approaches him, holding a
clipboard.
Woman: Afternoon, sir. Just putting the finishing touches on the surveillance centre.
Panel 2:
Iz A: Go away.
Woman: Can't do that, Mr. Jones. You can access the facility through the bookcase. Just pull on the dictionary.
Panel 3:
Iz A: I quit times a thousand.
Woman [checks her clipboard]: Yes, that's on the schedule, but you know it's meaningless.
Panel 4: She pulls out a bank card.
Woman: Here's the card for your bank account. I believe it currently contains sixty-two million dollars.
Iz A: Whatever.
Alt-Text:
The really horrifying bit of this situation is that apparently, if Iz
had quit his job before The Incident, he would have prevented the whole
thing by erasing Mr. Jones from existence (which is what Iz B has
done). Now that The Incident has happened, Iz's choices no longer have
any effect. But hey...he's got 62 million dollars. At least there's
that.
