Take a Walk on the Stutter Side

We begin this comic with Franky Banky, our protagonist who stutters, in a lover’s quarrel with his relatively new girlfriend, Emmanuela, who doesn’t stutter. Franky Banky, a cartoon fox, is having a heated argument with Emmanuela. Both are talking over each other. Franky Banky is stuttering a lot. Emmanuela: I just don’t know why you didn’t want to make a simple phone call! Franky Banky: Phone calls aren’t my scene, ok? Emmanuela: Phone calls aren’t yoru scene, ordering food isn’t your scene, talking to my friends isn’t your scene. Franky Banky: You don’t know what it’s like to stutter! Emmanuela: You’re always using your stuttering as an excuse! Franky Banky: At least you know what to expect to come out every time you open your mouth! Emmanuela: Slow down and breathe. Franky Banky is now shouting: Don’t tell me to slow down and breathe! Emmanuela shouts back: Alright keep stuttering. Just stop making such a big deal about it! Franky Banky: Do you have any idea what it’s like to always get funny looks your entire life each and every time you talk?? Emmanuela: You make little things bother you too much! Franky Banky is stuttering with his eyes closed: Look up the iceberg an… an… Emmanuela turns and leaves while thinking, there’s no use arguing with him. I’m leaving! Franky Banky opens his eyes and finished what he was saying: Analogy. He looks around. Where did she go? he thinks to himself. A while later, Emmanuela is walking further up the road and thinking to herself how much Franky Banky makes her so mad. She passes by a hot dog cart which gives her an idea. She orders a hot dog while stuttering on purpose which makes her realize how Franky Banky must feel. She thinks to herself, good heavens!
