PAGE ONE (four panels)
Panel 1. WALLY and LINDA WEST are discussing their evening plans in their kitchen. WALLY flips at super-speed through an address book. In the background, a visiting BART ALLEN looks up from his late afternoon snack.
WALLY:
I've called all our usual sitters--Leonie, Chris, Patrick, even Franny. All busy. What about Jim and Carol's daughter?
LINDA:
She's got a motocross tournament.
BART:
I could look after the kids for you.
Panel 2. LINDA and WALLY continue their discussion, ignoring BART, who has stood up.
LINDA:
Do you have to go out tonight?
WALLY:
I've had this JLA monitor duty on my schedule for a month.
LINDA:
And I've been working to land this interview for two months.
BART:
Guys! I could babysit!
Panel 3. LINDA looks dubiously at a business card that's been stuck on the fridge for a year. BART reenters with an armful of books from the WESTs' parenting shelf.
LINDA:
What about trying one of those services? The kids won't know the sitter, but…
BART:
I've read everything that Dr. Spock ever wrote! And Dr. Brazelton! And Dr. Leach! I know what to expect when I'm expecting!
Panel 4. WALLY and LINDA turn and respond to BART for the first time.
WALLY and LINDA:
No!
