Fictional comedy

At the backyard’s smallest theater, one red folding chair takes the stage for a one-seat show. Its opening squeak earns a compliment, its careful bow brings the audience to its feet, and the chair discovers a new specialty: standing ovations.

Four panels, one very proud chair

  1. Under the marquee “Tonight: One-Seat Show,” a red folding chair welcomes its audience.
  2. A neighbor applauds: “That opening squeak had real range!”
  3. The chair folds itself neatly after the show. The neighbor stands and claps as the chair says, “I can feel the room rising!”
  4. Back upright for its bow, the chair says, “I’ve been working on my standing ovation.”
