The Act

Panel 1: In the umpires’ locker room before the game, Sam sits apart reading his phone while Brad and Jeff talk. Brad: ‘...three errors in one inning!’ Panel 2: Sam’s phone note reads: ‘Regular guy. 1. Last night’s score. 2. Complain about the weather. 3. Laugh at the chief’s jokes. 4. Eat something in front of them.’ Panel 3: Brad: ‘You catch the game last night?’ Sam: ‘What a finish!’ Brad: ‘What a finish!’ Panel 4: Jeff tosses Sam a hot dog. Sam looks uncertain. Jeff: ‘Eat something, Sam. You look pale.’
