Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Andrea, Melanie, Kay, and Mr. Sprinkles are sitting at a table with a festive red, white and blue tablecloth. Melanie is excitedly waving around a couple of small American flags, Andrea is holding one flag and looking at Melanie with a bit of an embarassed expression, and Kay is holding up a cookie in one hand and a flag in the other. Mr. Sprinkles is between Andrea and Melanie, trying to sneak some food off of Melanie's plate.
Melanie: "WAA-HOO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA! USA! USA!"
Sound FX of Melanie waving the flags: "flap flap flap"
Kay: "YAY! How old is it, anyway?"
Panel 2: Andrea looks unsurprised as Melanie starts to sweat as she tries to do the math. She looks away from Kay and starts typing on her phone. Mr. Sprinkles has his paw back from the food, giving Melanie a disappointed and surprised expression at her struggling. Meanwhile, Kay munches on a cookie happily.
Melanie: "Uhh...ley's see... the country was founded in 17... um... 1776, so... um, let me check my phone really fast. Totally unrelated."
Andrea: "Weren't expecting a math quiz, eh Melanie?"
Sound FX of Melanie typing on her phone: "tap tap"
