Graphic novel panels illustrated by Ajay Ramnarine. On the left, 4 panels illustrated in black show a young man enter a kitchen with a question mark above his head. He looks at the oven and realizes that it’s 8:55am. A panel then zooms in on the shock in his eyes, framed by thick black glasses, and underneath it says “F-f-f-five minutes!?!“. The panel to the right makes the young man look like a larger-than-life super hero on fire, and the text reads: “Just enough time… to make breakfast!”
