ArtistPanel 1 A suburban backyard at dusk. A raccoon sits on a fence rail, staring thoughtfully at a house. Caption: Rocky did not get his name from the Beatles’ “Rocky Raccoon.” Panel 2 Workers remove part of a basement wall while a giant television is slid into the house. Caption: He earned his name when he watched a homeowner tear out a wall to install a television too large for any doorway. Panel 3 Rocky peers through a small upper window from a narrow ledge. Caption: From his secret observation post, he watched the owner consume every Rocky sequel ever made. Panel 4 Rocky, chest puffed out like a prizefighter, imagines himself under bright arena lights. Rocky (thought): Yo, Adrian. Panel 5 Map-like overhead view showing a five-block urban territory bounded by roads. Caption: Rocky ruled a compact five-block kingdom of fences, trees, rooftops, and garbage cans. Panel 6 The homeowner constructs a pond and waterfall beside a tall columnar juniper. Caption: Then came the pond. Panel 7 Twenty bright orange koi are released into the water. Caption: Twenty koi carp, fifty dollars each, were stocked like liquid gold. Panel 8 The family kneels beside the pond, feeding the fish by hand. Caption: Within days, the koi learned to rush to the sound of splashing hands. Panel 9 Rocky watches from the shadows, eyes gleaming. Caption: Rocky took notes.
