PANEL ONE
Cat plays on their handheld console. Dog reads.

CAT:
I developed a video game!

DOG:
Wow! That’s a huge accomplishment. Congratulations!

PANEL TWO
Cat raises a finger as they make a point.

CAT:
Yes, you are correct to shower me with accolades. My game will be a smash hit and make me billions. Yup, it’s all finally coming together. Just think, soon I won’t be reduced to having to talk to you.

PANEL THREE
Dog’s face bears tired disdain.

DOG:
…
I’m so happy for you.

PANEL FOUR
Cat holds out their console for Dog to take, its screen displaying the game menu for “I Win, You Lose.”

CAT:
Yes, you are. Anyway, want to play? It’s called I Win, You Lose.

DOG:
Don’t tell me you developed a game that only you can win.

CAT:
Okay, I won’t tell you that.

PANEL FIVE
The Oak Tree bathes in the sun, its quiet god eyes closed.
Dog plays the game. It consists of a single screen with this question: Are you Cat? With options: Yes and No.

Dog selects No. “You Lose, Loser!” displays on the screen.

CAT:
Hah! You lost!

DOG:
You really did develop a game that only you can win.

CAT:
Let me show you how it’s done.

PANEL SIX
Cat takes the console and answers ‘yes’ to the question. They win.

CAT:
That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout! In your face, loser!

DOG:
Let me try again.

PANEL SEVEN
Dog answers ‘yes’ to the question. “You Lose, Liar!” displays on the screen.

DOG:
What?! How did it know?

CAT:
You just don’t got it, son. The game knows you’re a mere mortal. Watch and learn.

CAT (CONT):
This game is so good. I am so talented. Be in awe of my grandeur! Worship me!!

THE END.
