ALT seven-panel comic by Alex Ryan (VS Comic) illustrating the life cycle of a bandage and a cut: Panel 1: A fresh cut on skin says, "OUCH." with a sad expression as blood drips from it. Panel 2: An adhesive bandage with a smiling face approaches, saying, "I'LL HELP HEAL YOU!" Panel 3: The bandage sits smoothly over the cut, saying, "THERE." Panel 4: As the bandage begins to peel back, it asks cheerfully, "HOW ARE YOU FEELING NOW?" Action text reads "PEEL". Panel 5: Below the bandage, a messy, gooey scab stretches upward, nervously answering, "OK I GUESS...." The bandage looks wide-eyed and startled. Panel 6: The bandage immediately slaps itself back down over the wound with action text reading "SLAM!" and a shocked face. Panel 7: Calendar pages fly past in the background to show time passing. The bandage is finally pulled away entirely, smiling proudly, only to reveal a fully formed scar underneath. A red banner at the bottom right reads, "SCAR WINS!"
