Title: "Unexpected Visitor"
In Liz Climo's Short Comics Collection, we enter a typical day in the life of Liz, the lovable character who always finds herself in quirky situations. On this particular day, Liz is busy working on her next comic strip when suddenly, a loud knock on the door interrupts her. Curious, she opens the door to find a penguin standing on her porch, looking lost and slightly panicked.
The penguin, speaking in a heavy accent, explains that he took a wrong turn on his way to Antarctica and ended up in Liz's neighborhood instead. Liz, being the kind-hearted soul that she is, invites the penguin inside for a cup of hot cocoa and some directions to the nearest airport. As they chat over cocoa, Liz learns that the penguin's name is Percy, and he dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian.
In a surprising turn of events, Liz decides to help Percy achieve his dream by offering him a spot in her next comic strip. Together, they come up with hilarious jokes and witty punchlines that leave readers in stitches. As Percy's popularity soars, Liz realizes that sometimes, the most unexpected encounters can lead to extraordinary opportunities.
As Percy bids farewell, promising to visit Liz again soon, she can't help but smile at the unlikely friendship that has bloomed between a cartoonist and a penguin. And as she gets back to work on her comics, she knows that life is full of delightful surprises waiting to be discovered.
