Short 61: Magic Portal

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. Pepper is lying in bed, looking proud as she shows Carrot her latest invention: a magic portal floating above the bed, blowing cold air. Pepper: "Check out my newest find! A direct portal to the South Pole! My solution to this heat!"

Panel 2. Pepper leans back, enjoying the icy breeze on her face. Carrot smiles: he likes it.

Panel 3. Close up: penguins start pouring out of the portal, bouncing off Pepper's face. Pepper: "Ouch!"

Panel 4. The room is now dark and freezing. Ice covers the walls and floor, with icicles hanging from the ceiling. The portal keeps blasting frigid wind. Pepper is bundled up in a thick scarf, gloves, and a coat, studying a heavy grimoire on her lap. She looks annoyed. Carrot's giving her a cold stare while wrapped in a blanket, clearly not happy. A dozen penguins are scattered around, curious, and reading over her shoulder, helping with grimoires. Pepper: "This seemed way better in my head. Now, how to turn this thing off?"
