The Working Group Number 6. Panel 1: Lindy walks next to the beagle. Lindy asks, “What kind of influencer are you?” Panel 2: The beagle says, “I’m a gamer. Not a world champion or anything, but we get a lotta sponsorship deals cuz my origin story is a real tearjerker.”
Panel 3: The beagle says, “When I was a pup I lived with Bud Jenkins, a nasty jerk with 20,000 followers. I was miserable and hungry so I ran away and that’s when I met Matty.” In a flashback, the beagle approaches Matty cautiously. Panel 4: The beagle continues, “But Matty’s parents wouldn’t let me stay with them, they said Matty had to return me to Bud.” Matty holds the beagle and looks upset while Matty’s father wags a finger at them. Panel 5: The beagle says, “Matty started watching Bud’s livestreams to gather evidence that he was a cheating poser.” Matty is lying down outside looking at a phone.
Panel 6: The beagle says, “We made a deal with Bud: Matty would grind for 200 in-game hours to get Bud’s flop paladin a higher ranking and in return Matty’s family could adopt me.” Matty approaches Bud who is playing a video game on a computer. Panel 7: The beagle continues, “Matty was grinding day and night, and was a mod on Bud’s livestreams, and increased Bud’s follower count by 75%.” Matty is looking intently at a computer screen.
Panel 8: The beagle says, “When Bud refused to honor our deal, Matty posted an 8-hour-long video essay exposing all of Bud’s lies. He was so cooked.” Matty is talking to the camera and holding a microphone. In the background is a whiteboard with pieces of paper linked with string and a photo of Bud with the word “poser” and an arrow pointing at him. The title of the video essay is, “Bud Jenkins is lying to you” and it has 1,586,621 views and was posted 7 months ago from a channel called “MATTY” with 1.2 million followers. Panel 9: The beagle ends the story with, “Now Matty and I stream together for 2 million followers! When Matty turns 18 we’re probably going to pivot to gambling.” Matty and the beagle are livestreaming on a channel called “Friendly Milo.” The video game looks like a dog driving a car. Both Matty and beagle have game controllers. There are 3,507 viewers and the stream was 9 hours 36 minutes and 37 seconds long.
