The Plants Have Been Watered Twice

A Let It Out comic about putting off a short call to the bakery, finding very important jobs instead, and discovering the call takes three minutes.

Comic · Issue 10

Five-panel comic: the Let It Out sloth eyes a face-down phone beside a cake doodle on the calendar, waters an already overflowing plant pot instead, then calls the bakery holding a small note card, relaxes with a mug as a little cake appears above the phone, and presents a Let It Out app call to action.

The sloth needs to ring the bakery about a birthday cake and keeps finding other things to do, including watering the plants for a second time. The turn is picking up the phone with a tiny note card and making the call, which turns out to take three minutes. This fictional everyday example illustrates making an avoided call smaller, not a tested treatment. The final panel is a Let It Out app call to action.

  1. Panel 01

    I'LL CALL THE BAKERY LATER.

    At a wooden table by a sunny window, the sloth rests its chin on its paw and looks uneasily at a phone lying face-down beside a mug. A calendar page on the wall shows a doodled cake. The caption appears in a cream thought bubble.

  2. Panel 02

    THE PLANTS HAVE BEEN WATERED TWICE.

    The sloth pours from a watering can into a plant pot that is already overflowing, water dripping onto the saucer and table, while the face-down phone waits on the table. The caption appears in a cream thought bubble.

  3. Panel 03

    HELLO! ONE CAKE FOR SATURDAY, PLEASE.

    The sloth holds the phone to its ear, back to the viewer, and smiles bravely while glancing at a small note card with a few wavy lines on it. The caption appears in a cream speech bubble.

  4. Panel 04

    THREE MINUTES. THAT WAS ALL.

    The sloth leans back in its chair with eyes closed and a steaming mug, the phone face-down on the table and a small cake symbol popping up beside it. The caption appears in a cream speech bubble.

  5. Panel 05

    LET IT OUT

    On a deep teal background with leaf motifs, the sloth holds a phone with its back visible beside the brand name LET IT OUT. The tagline reads: PUT IT DOWN. COME BACK WHEN YOU CHOOSE. The sage button reads: GET THE APP.
