Sauce Drawer

Three-panel comic staged like the Mount Doom scene from The Lord of the Rings, against a fiery orange background flecked with drifting ash. Panel one: a woman with long wind-blown hair stares wide-eyed and thrusts an open hand toward the viewer, pleading, "Cast it into the trash! Dispose of it!" Panel two: an extreme close-up of a man's face, lit red from below and set in a smug, sinister smile as he holds up a single Chick-fil-A sauce packet. He answers, "no." Panel three: an overhead view of an open kitchen junk drawer. His hand tosses the sauce packet into the drawer with a soft plop, landing among scissors, loose batteries, keys, a tangled cable — and two Chick-fil-A sauce packets already there.
