The Scarlet Letters

by M.D. Christopher · February 7, 2024

In the first panel, in shades of grey with accents of red, a muppet-esque character dressed like a puritan with a scarlet letter A on her clothes, says, "I don't know about this Scarlet Letter skit, M.C. Are you sure it's a good idea to teach kids about adultery?" She's addressing the artist, a young woman with short hair, wearing a purple shirt with a red A badge, whose hands are on her hips.

In the second panel, the artist reassures the muppet with a wave of her hand and says, "Don't worry, Hester, we're going to teach them other 'grown up' words that start with the letter 'A'."
