If it was all “a story,” as Alice says, then she never really did have an artistic crisis. But if the muse truly left her, then it returned to her equally suddenly. Verisimilitude?

In that 3rd panel, Alice looks less like she’s regaining belief in herself and more like she’s passing a kidney stone.

This is why I generally avoid any movie or other type of story that’s described as heartwarming. They’re all exactly like this.

Alice misspoke — she meant “heart worming…”

Actually, Alice, that was indeed pretty much like on TV: lame story, predictable ending, cloying actor.
You may have a job ahead of you in writing for the boob-tube, lord help us!
