PANEL 1 - EXT. BOUGHL SCIENCE BUILDING - ESTABLISHING The large, ultra-modern science building at the center of the Freese Campus. A sign on it should read BOUGHL SCIENCE BUILDING.
CAPTION Boy, they know how to take your dignity away at college. Real quick.
PANEL 2 - INT. SCIENCE CLASSROOM / GIRLS' DORM An establishing shot of the girls' room, widescreen, with Annalee in the center, lying on her cot, writing in her diary.
A converted classroom, with folded tables off to one side and very cheesy temporary furniture supplied for the girls. There are five cots spread as far from each other as possible.
1 CAPTION We were stuffed into a classroom in the science building.
2 CAPTION Five girls in one room. And we all might as well be from different universes.
PANEL 3 - ON PAULA (THE SEDUCTRESS) She's arranging candles on a table next to her bed. Several posters and cut-outs of male idols are above her bed, along with dozens of pictures cut into hearts, or connected by plus signs. Her hair is in pigtails.
3 CAPTION Paula Pophouse, from New Hampshire, defines the fan base of Us Magazine: She lives for soapy, lovestruck gossip. Didn't exactly win the genetics lo ttery, though. I think the bubbliness masks a very troubled girl.
PANEL 4 - ON RENEE (PULLER) Renee, who we saw earlier arguing with Brady (they'll be the Drama Twins, she'll be Puller), is teasing her hair in a tacky mirror she must have put up. Every outfit she wears is more tight and revealing, and she's always decked out in flashy jewelry.
4 CAPTION Renee Bellochio, a Jersey Girl through and through, complete with teased hair and mad bling. Yup, I just wrote "mad bling." She nodded to me when she walked in. That must pass for validation in skankville.
PANEL 5 - ON CACOPHONY Cacophony, who isn't a main character, sits on her cot with thick headphones and a keyboard. She's a goth, her hair shaved on the sides and dyed black and purple. Always glaring, and "Hello," "Awesome," "Good job" and "F-you" are all conveyed by the devil horns sign, which she's giving right now.
5 CAPTION Then there's "Cacophony," or so she calls herself, who sits in the corner and glares. And I mean glares. She should be in the glaring Olympics. Who can she hate that much?
6 CAPTION One girl hasn't arrived yet. I already like her best. |
Colors by Tyson Wengler


A major character from the Freshmen sequel appears very briefly in this issue. He's in the foreground of one of the panels.
Norrin's shirt, "June 23," with yellow on black, is a reference to the marketing campaign for the original Batman film. His love of this flick will be further shown in issue #3.
"D.W. Freese University" is named after Derek Freese, who grew up in the sa me neighborhood as Seth and Hugh and was a wonderful friend to so many. We miss him dearly, and we're thrilled to pay homage to him.
