#webcomics #webtoons #comics #thestarryladders

Panel 1
INT. THE DEAD DUCK INN – EARLY EVENING – WIDE SHOT OF SHE-
DEVIL, SIMON, BARNEBUS, AL, LIZ, AND CROWD
We then get a shot of Simon witnessing She Devil preform, to
Barnebus annoyance. They’re in the middle of a cover of the
Roxy Music song In Every Dream Home A Heartache
SHELLY Open plan living, Bungalow ranch style, All of its comforts, Seem so essential...
Panel 2
CLOSE UP OF SHELLY
Shelly, playing the synth bit with her viola, sings into the mic, giving the audience a Kubrick stare as she gives a sort of sinister delivery to the lyrics.
SHELLY I bought you mail order, My plain wrapper baby,
              Your skin is like vinyl, The perfect companion...
Panel 3
CLOSE UP OF SIMON
Simon is trapped in a trance as he listens on.
SHELLY (OP) You float my new pool, De luxe and delightful,
              Inflatable doll, My role is to serve you...
Panel 4
SHOT OF SHELLY AND SIMON
We then see Simon and Shelly interlock eyes with each other.

 TITLE: The Starry Ladders – The Starry Ladders Are Born Part120 # 1 — Will Steadman
SHELLY Disposable darling, Can't throw you away now, Immortal and life size, My breath is inside you...
Panel 5
CLOSE UP OF SHELLY
Closing her eyes, Shelly delivers the last bit of verses. SHELLY And keep you till death sighs, Inflatable doll,
              Lover ungrateful, I blew up your body...
Panel 6
DITTO
She then opens her eyes, with a smirk on her face, finishes the verse.
SHELLY But you blew my mind.
