camouflage
Original: camouflage on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
A woman with red hair sits looking toward another figure. A speech bubble (coming from her) reads: "STEVE? STEEEEVE? GOD, I WONDER WHERE HE WENT. I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN YEARS..."
Nearby sits a person completely covered in a green leafy ghillie-suit-style camouflage, holding what appears to be a phone or small device. This is evidently "Steve," hiding in plain sight.
Caption (below panel): The saddest part is that we both know the camouflage doesn't work.
Votey:
Close-up of the red-haired woman's face with a thought bubble reading: "STILL EASIER THAN GOOD COMMUNICATION."

A red-haired woman sits on a couch and calls out in a speech bubble, "Steve? Steeeeve? God, I wonder where he went. I haven't seen him in years..." Right beside her sits a person completely buried in a shaggy green leafy ghillie-suit camouflage, holding a phone, clearly Steve hiding in plain sight and failing to be hidden. A caption below reads: "The saddest part is that we both know the camouflage doesn't work." In the votey, a close-up of the woman's face shows a thought bubble: "Still easier than good communication." The joke: both people know the disguise isn't fooling anyone, but pretending Steve has vanished is preferable to actually talking to each other.
