Panel 1:
We're at sea, looking at a lonely rowboat escaping from a large shark (a Megalodon), which is swimming away in the background. A one-armed skeleton with a red rag covering his eye is padding with a broken oar: this is Bob. The boat has a large bite taken out of its side.
Bob: First a storm...
Bob: Then a Meg...
Bob: All I want to do is hand in these supplies...
Panel 2:
A back tint starts to spread across the water directly underneath the boat. Bob looks over the side at the growing stain.
Bob: Nearly there...
Bob: Hmm...
Bob: Why is the water turning black...?
Panel 3:
Several tentacles, covered in suckers and tipped with terrible maws, erupt from the water around the boat. It's the Kraken!
Bob: noooo
Panel 4:
In the distance, the Kraken continues its rampage. In the foreground, Bob's charred, broken oar and parts of his boat float on the surface for the water.
It's Bob! One more time! Poor Bob.
