No. Your revision made it worse. We don't need an example conversation as our minds will come up with a better (read: more personal and therefore better to the reader and no one else) version of what the conversation could have been.

It's a common mistake made by horror movies. Want it to be scary? Don't show the monster. Want a joke to be funny? Don't explain the details. Broad strokes.

I made a few versions of 1048.

In the spirit of making things slightly worse, here's one with way too many straight lines:

Here's one that was barely researched at all and probably does not have the correct proportions:

And here's one based on a song by The Arrogant Worms:

I made a blog post about these with a teensy bit more context and some title texts, but I don't know if it's okay to plug that so I'll do it in small letters.

Fun fact: the bowl of mealworms was a failed attempt at drawing cereal. I guess it's all in how you look at it. On a similar token, ceci n'est pas des organes génitaux.

This thread is moving too slowly. I demand more but refuse to contribute.

Actually I'm thinking of something with the latest comic. It's simple and succinct, I'm sure I can do something with it.

I wanted to do one for that comic but nothing came to mind at the time.
