In and Out of Trouble

When Lightning Lady says she’s thinking about “In and Out,” she’s definitely not talking about burgers. Unfortunately, Angus the Minotaur is still stuck on the food angle — and it’s making for one very awkward (and unintentionally revealing) conversation about what she really wants tonight.

A six-panel comic featuring Lightning Lady, a blonde superhero in a blue-and-yellow costume, and her boyfriend Angus, a muscular minotaur wearing a white apron. Angus reacts loudly when she suggests hamburgers. She reminds him he said she could be honest, and he encourages her to share what she wants without judgment. As she hesitates, thought bubbles show fast food options like Jack in the Box, Steak ’n Shake, and In-N-Out. Angus grows increasingly stressed, facepalming and admitting he dislikes those places. In the final panel, Lightning Lady claims she stopped thinking about food while still gesturing, with a thought bubble indicating otherwise, as Angus is taken aback.
