A pool moment full of self-mockery: three swimmers wearing orange swim caps float out, while a teammate sits on the starting block and the coach watches silently.
The loose pen lines and sparse watercolour make the water ripple in cool blue; on the stand, warm tones glow as an echo of the real subject. The one-liner - "Going pussy again at home, right?" - pierces right through the chlorine and turns the swim-out pause into a scene about timing, tact and home situations.
Humour and discomfort swim lane to lane here: you smile first, then recognise the sensitivity behind the joke.
