SCENE: Young woman in a commencement graduation cap & gown is embraced by her father (the man from the first panel.) In the background, two older women are talking.
YOUNG WOMAN: With a degree in psychology, I can bash bad guys…and psychoanalyze them!
OLDER WOMAN #1: Wow! Fists of Fury and flaming Freudian philosophy!
OLDER WOMAN #2: That’s a super-powered combo that’ll make any villain cringe!
