McGregor 155 |
|
PANEL ONE (TOD, THIS IS ONE LARGE, INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY PANEL. WE ARE PULLED BACK SO WE CAN SEE THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE WITH ZORRO AND TORNADO AND THE DEAD INDIAN WOMAN. TORNADO HAS SKIDDED RIGHT UP TO THE EDGE OF THE CHASM. THIS IS A SIDE VIEW. WE CAN SEE AN INCREDIBLE SPACE AND THEN THERE IS THE FIRST CHIMNEY STACK ROCK FORMATION, WITH A PLATEAU THAT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE PARADISE, IT IS SO GREEN AND LUSH. BUT THE PROBLEM IS, IT ISN'T VERY WIDE, AND EVEN IF YOU COULD JUMP IT, COULD YOU COME TO A STOP BEFORE PLUNGING OFF THE OTHER SIDE. BUT TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT THERE'S ANOTHER VAST SPACE AND THEN A SECOND CHIMNEY ROCK RISING UP! AND THEN, ANOTHER DAMN, DEATH DEFYING SPACE! BEFORE WE SEE SOLID MOUNTAIN AGAIN! HOW CAN EVEN ZORRO AND TORNADO GET PAST THIS?) CAP 1: The chimney rocks are taunting challenges. CAP 2: Think you can make the jump? CAP 3: Not one jump-- CAP 4: --not two jumps-- CAP 5: --but three! CAP 6: Two jumps onto small plateaus, like lush paradises. CAP 7: Big enough to land on, if you can reach them! CAP 8: But wide enough to stop-- CAP 9: --before skidding off the far side? ZORRO 10: Oh, boy, Tornado? Do you see this? ZORRO 11 (SHIVERY BALLOON EFFECT): BRRHHH!
