![A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, we watch as very shoddily drawn sketchy Green fox slowly comes together, becoming progressively more recognisable.
Shoddy, sketchy Green fox stares in deep confusion as the ambiguous shape of Blue asks him an incomprehensible question.
Blue: [unintelligible words]?
Green: What?
Becoming clearer, Blue looks at Green, who is still thrown off, but now looks almost completely like himself.
Blue: I asked if you just woke up.
Green: Oh. No, not yet.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6443b43bdb1e4fe9642c2150f7f2db69/eb94e657085ec4b3-7a/s640x960/20bf720ab3e4b1e981d65bc0c4a7f3fc3293954b.jpg)
