Transcript

Panel 1

Beaver runs into a room carrying two bags.
Beaver: "Steve, I've got the meat and the charcoal, let's Bar-B-Q!"
Beaver: "Who's your friend?"
Steve: "This is... Des. He's an old friend from school. Just visiting, like."
Des: "Yeh, hi. Hi."

Panel 2

Beaver talks to himself as he prepares the barbecue.
Beaver: "I don't like the look of this fellow! Could Steve be in trouble?"

Panel 3

Beaver, wondering who Des is, does not notice the flames leaping from the barbecue behind him.
Beaver: "Is he a loan shark? Or a bookie? Maybe a hitman! Or a prison escapee!"
Beaver: "Poor Steve!"

Panel 4

The house is now engulfed in flames.
Beaver: "I should help him, he's my friend! But I'm afraid of career criminals!"

Panel 5

Des is wearing a fireman's cap and spraying the fire with a hose.
Beaver: "Why did you invite an undercover fireman to our barbecue?"
Steve: "'Matches matches, never touch, they can hurt you very much.'"

Fun Facts
