Poor Timing

A six panel, full color comic. In the first panel, we stand in a warmly lit and comforting tattoo studio, with exposed brick and a wooden floor. Emily holds up an ereader as she talks to Hannah, her tattoo artist, who is prepping her station. Emily asks "Is it ok if I read during the tattoo session?" to which Hannah replies, "Oh yeah, no prob! Whatcha reading?" In the second panel, we focus on Emily who is looking at her ereader as she answers, "Trainspotting! I've never seen the movie, figured I should read it first." Hannah replies with "ah, cool!" off panel. In the third panel, Emily sits on the tattooing bed while Hannah starts working on a tattoo on her left arm. Emily looks down and reads. In the fourth panel, we zoom in on Emily's ereader, which displays a literal description of "Just like, the grossest and filthiest scene description you've ever done read, and also it's in Scots." In the fifth panel, Emily looks with some amount of horror at her ereader, as Hannah works right over her shoulder. In the sixth panel, sheepishly, Emily lowers the ereader, sweating and looking over at Hannah, clearly embarrassed.

At least no one can listen to a podcast over your shoulder. 📚
