| Panel 1: Casey,
Barbara, and a Davies Junior Fellow named Libby are sitting in the
crowd at the talent auction, listening to Baldwin, the auctioneer. Baldwin: Our next item is a small ceramic sculpture of Davies College. Bidding starts at thirty dollars. Libby: Ooh...I really want this one. Panel 2: Libby gapes in surprise as the bidding gets underway. Baldwin: I have thirty...do I hear fifty? Fifty!...seventy...one hundred? I see one hundred...one hundred and fifty...one seventy-five! Two hundred! Panel 3: Libby is very dismayed. Baldwin: Two hundred! Do I hear two twenty-five? Yes! Two fifty...two seventy-five...three hundred! Professor Jackson bids four hundred, ladies and gentlemen! Do I hear four twenty-five? Panel 4: Libby face-palms and whimpers. Casey: What's with Libby? Barbara: I think she's coming to terms with current economic realities. Baldwin: Six hundred! Alt-Text: Bidding at the Massey auction can go VERY high. Last year, there was a knitted doll of the Master that went for, I think, nearly six hundred dollars. Go to commentary |
