    4. Panel four: In the next room, Mina points at a framed “YOU UP?” and asks, “Is that from the permanent collection?” The curator says, “It keeps returning.”
    5. Panel five: Mina holds up a grocery-list apology and asks, “Where do I put this grocery-list apology?” The curator directs her to “The Perishables Annex.”
    6. Panel six: Mina asks, “Do visitors ever get closure?” The curator smiles: “Only on Tuesdays.”

    Mina, the curator, the museum, and every text-message exhibit in this comic are fictional comedy.
