Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Melanie is reclining on the bed behind Andrea, looking at her phone. Andrea is at her desk on her laptop, and Kay excitedly pops in the room.
Kay: "Let's go make some cookies!"
Andrea: "Sorry Kay, but Melanie and I have to study for state testing this month.
Panel 2: Kay looks very sad, complete with drooping wings. Andrea starts typing on her laptop, and Melanie sits up, holding her phone in front of her mouth.
Andrea: "We don't have time to bake anything."
Kay: "Aww."
Melanie: "True, Andrea, although..."
Panel 3: Melanie stands up and happily walks out of the room with an excited Kay. Andrea has a questioning expression as she continues to look at her laptop.
Melanie: "Kay shouldn't have to suffer because we have to! And besides, I study better with cookies!"
Andrea: "Unless you're writing the answers on the cookies, I don't see how they'll help you study."
Kay: "YAY!"
