Panel 1:A man in jeans, a t-shirt, and a fanny pack materializes in a flash of blue light on a dock.
“Ugh, my head. Where am I this time?”
Panel 2:Barry looks around, seeing men dressed in colonial garb and Native American costumes throwing crates into the water.
“Huh? A historical reenactment? Looks intense.”
Panel 3:A colonist dressed as a Native American bumps into Barry, dropping a crate of tea.
“Watch it, matey! For liberty!”
Panel 4:Barry picks up the dropped crate, trying to look inconspicuous. He notices the label: 'Finest East India Tea'.
“East India Tea? Wait a minute...”
PAGE 2
Panel 1:Close-up on Barry's face, now panicked.
“Oh, crud. This isn't a reenactment, is it?”
Panel 2:Barry looks around frantically, trying to blend in. He awkwardly tries to mimic the colonists' actions, grabbing the crate of tea.
“Uh... for... freedom!”
Panel 3:Barry attempts to throw the crate, but he's never thrown anything heavy before. He flings it weakly, barely clearing the edge of the dock.
“Whoa! Little help here!”
Panel 4:The crate of tea lands with a pathetic 'plunk' right next to the dock instead of in the water. A colonist stares at him in disbelief.
“What in tarnation was that?”
PAGE 3
Panel 1:More colonists turn to look at Barry. They are confused and angry.
“Is that one of them redcoat sympathizers?”
Panel 2:Barry, realizing he's made things worse, tries to back away, bumping into another colonist.
“Whoa, sorry! Didn't see you there!”
Panel 3:Barry is covered in tea leaves and cardboard. He looks up to see the colonists advancing on him.
“Okay, okay, I can explain!”
Panel 4:Close-up on a colonist's angry face, holding a feather duster. He's about to cover Barry in feathers.
“Tar and feathers for the tea-loving traitor!”
PAGE 4
Panel 1:Barry closes his eyes, bracing for the impact. He's covered in tar and feathers.
“This is gonna sting...”
Panel 2:Suddenly, Barry vanishes in another flash of blue light, leaving behind only a pile of tar-covered feathers.
Panel 3:The colonists stare in disbelief at the empty space where Barry was standing.
“What in the...? Did he just vanish?”
Panel 4:A single feather floats gently down to the dock, landing on a discarded crate of tea.
