Little Witch #10: Restoration

I love the scale reminder of panel 3. Of course, the camera shot had to move to make room for the Little Witch Captions logo. I so enjoyed this format, there's a later comic that has this tight shot of three dolls on doll stands on the little white shelf.

Transcript

Panel 1 – Mommy, Aunt Sally, and Jenny are dolls on doll stands, in a line three in a row.

Mommy: If we’re close enough to one another, we can communicate.

Jenny: Cool. Yeah, she gets me out of gym pretending she forgot to wash her actual shorts.

Sally: It’s nice to meet you, Jenny. But, Katheryn and I were having a serious discussion.

Panel 2 – Same as Panel 1

Jenny: Sorry. What about?

Sally: Why Kate has been resisting when Angela tries to restore her.

Jenny: I’m curious about that too.

Mommy: She talks about me in school?

Panel 3 – wide shot of the room

Jenny: Only with me and Tish. Not that anyone would be surprised Angela has her mother and aunt sitting on a shelf in her bedroom.

Sally: I don’t mind being a doll as much as I would have thought before it happened.

Mommy: I’m glad we get to share the experience, Sis.

Panel 4 – Same as Panel 1

Sally: Sure. But you can’t stay here. You need Darren. He needs you.

Jenny: Yeah, this is fun. But, there are lots of ways to have fun.

Sally: We have commitments and obligations, Katie.

Mommy: I… I know. And I enjoy this for the relaxing part. It’s easy to go with the flow when you can’t move.

Panel 5 – Same as Panel 1

Jenny: That’s the fun. But, it isn’t the only fun.

Sally: Very wise, young lady.

Mommy: I’ve been ready to change back for a while now.

Panel 6 – Same as Panel 1

Sally: Still, you resisted the other day. And that daughter of yours didn’t try restoring me. She knows it’ll work.

Sally: And that would blow your cover with Darren.

Mommy: Next time she casts the…

Panel 7 – Daddy and Angela enter the room

Daddy: Cast it now.

Angela: It won’t work if she doesn’t want it.

Daddy: Is that the full extent of how the spell works or are you leaving some of it out?

Mommy, thinking: Oh, dear. He’s upset.

Panel 8 – Angela reassures Daddy

Angela: I could push past her resistance if I wanted to.

Daddy: Please, want to.

Angela: Okay, Daddy.

Sally, thinking: What did you think I’ve been saying?

Panel 9 – Angela picks up Mommy doll to restore her

Daddy: Who’s the third doll? Why are there three dolls?

Jenny, thinking: It’s me. Jenny.

Sally, thinking: He can’t hear you.

Jenny, thinking: Oh, yeah.
