Gone Fishin'

This is a little one-page comic script I wrote for the site Thoughtballoons:

PANEL ONE
The Penguin--aka Oswald Cobblepot-- is sitting in an old-style smoking chair in a darkened den. Silhouetted at the window is Catwoman, tapping at the glass.

SFX: TINK TINK TINK

PANEL TWO
From her POV, we see Oswald leaning around the chair.

PENGUIN: Selina. What can I
do for you this evening?

PANEL THREE
Close-up on Catwoman, smiling cheekily.

CATWOMAN: I have a

present for you, Oswald--It’s at the front door.

PANEL FOUR
From a low angle we see Penguin standing at the open front door, looking down at the ground. Catwoman’s shadow can be seen on the wall next to him.

PENGUIN: Ah, fish, my
favourite. You know me all too well, my dear. Let us bring it into the kitchen.

PANEL FIVE
Catwoman and Penguin are standing in the kitchen looking down at the bench between them.

CATWOMAN: I scooped it out of Gotham River just this morning.
PENGUIN: And you thought you’d share it with me? How thoughtful.
CATWOMAN: You’re a better cook than I.
PENGUIN: Ah, this is true.
CATWOMAN: So any ideas on how to prepare it?

PANEL SIX, PAGE-WIDTH
We see a wide-shot of the scene, revealing Aquaman lying unconscious on the bench. Penguin is holding up an umbrella with a blade shooting up from its tip and both are smiling evilly.

SFX: SHIIK
PENGUIN: Filleted, I believe.
