Page 8. Two stacked panels, read top to bottom. No dialogue. Top panel: the low desk in dim evening light. The chipped mug has tipped onto its side, pencils spilling across the wood, and one pencil is caught mid-fall off the edge of the desk. Bottom panel: under the desk. A small round white paw is mid-retreat into the shadow, the edge of a dusty-pink collar and a small gold bell just catching the light. The thief's face stays hidden.
Image description
Two stacked wordless panels: the pencil mug tipped on its side on the desk with a pencil falling off the edge, and below it a small white paw with a pink collar and gold bell retreating into the shadow under the desk.
About this chapter
The pencil mug on the clubroom desk keeps getting lighter. Momo mounts a stakeout, loses a fight with her own eyelids, and wakes just in time to catch the thief mid-crime. This time the prime suspect is actually guilty — and there is a hoard behind the fridge to prove it.
