Sunday Comics - KLEMPNER 214
This story comes sometime after "Goodnight to Baby / J vs. rats" in the general Flux-Socialist Family Comics storyline. It's more than a little abstract, and I am going to annotate it.
NEXT WEEK: Strategy, counter-strategy. A poignant sense of abandonment.

1. <F>, also known by her official title of Klempner 214, and whom you may remember from such compromising positions as this one, arrives to work an assigned plumbing job. |

2. Here we see a convenient pictographic listing of the contents of F's toolkit, and a transcription of the contents of her letter of instructions. Approximately: "WARNING: in bathhouse 19, undesirable situation. Caution regarding the leak. It is black and elastic. Worker who is besmirched with it should immolate her/himself immediately in a well-ventilated area." |

3. An informative panel concerning fluid chemistry. F opens the shutters. |

4. RATS! And they're stripping the circuitry!! |
![]() |
5. F is unusually perturbed by the appearance of the 3-foot-tall, hairless rat. A Diagramm describes her thought process. |

6. F makes a leap for the half-stripped control panel in the middle of the room and begins to repair it with lightning speed, while the rats flee into their rather large tunnels. |
![]() |
7. F pulls a lever on the temporarily repaired control panel, and spiked oak-and-iron whatsits (let's say "bulkheads") seal off the crawlspace, trapping the rats. |
![]() |
8. Yes, even the big one. ESPECIALLY the big one. |
NEXT WEEK: Strategy, counter-strategy. A poignant sense of abandonment.
