[Panel 1]
[Ginny]
Nils is a bit down at the moment.

[Elizabeth]
Did someone try to
give him a cat?

[Bell]
Someone thought he was the
kind of guy who'd sympathise
with beating up women.

[Ginny]
They did WHAT?

[Elizabeth]
NILS? No WAY!

[Bell]
He's not very happy about it.

[Panel 2]
[Caz]
'Strewth, who would be?
Do you know who it was?

[Bell]
He won't say.

[Ginny]
I've got a nasty feeling
I could make a guess.

[Caz]
You interest me strangely.

[Ginny]
Well, I have wondered a bit... Most
wives don't turn up to office parties in
spacesuits, even when it's fancy dress...

[Panel 3]
[Caz]
You know, I've got a LOT of
friends in the Collective.

[Elizabeth]
No, Ginny, don't tell her!

[Bell]
Caz, 'e ain't wurf it, and
anyway the Bill are on it.

[Caz]
You two aren't
usually spoil-sports...

[Bell]
I want him to be the one
with a record, not you!

[Panel 4]
[Caz]
I was planning we'd
all wear white sheets
and pointy hats.

[Ginny]
Sounds like the
right idea. You
have a spare?

[Elizabeth]
Hmmmmm. I can feel
a poem coming on.

[Ginny]
On second thoughts, Caz, let
Elizabeth have first go at him.

[Caz]
You mean, first we let her
loose and destroy his mind...

[Ginny]
... then you can kill him. Yes.

[Elizabeth]
If I get it right, it'll be
crueller to make him live with it.
