Panel 1
Alex (smiling)
Sam: I keep getting dropped connections. It's like he's playing a game of hot potato with my internet.
Alex: Oh, it's nothing. Just a bit of fine-tuning with my latest, state-of-the-art wireless signal booster.
Panel 2
In the corner, Alex is now holding a small, wireless device that looks like a magic wand.
Sam: Well, at least I got a nice score on my new wireless signal tester. It feels good to finally have a connection that won't run away from me.
Alex: And guess what? I just charged up my new Wi-Fi charm, which turns my wireless signal into a super hero's personal hotspot. Now I can connect the whole neighborhood!
Sam: You mean to tell me that your wireless internet is better than a signal tester? I must be losing my touch.
Panel 3
Robin shrugs and starts eating her banana, turning the corner into a fit of giggles. Sam and Alex exchange looks, still slightly bewildered, but with a hint of a smile.
Robin: Let's see whose banana is better. I mean, whose internet is better.
Sam: You're...you're not serious?
Alex: Not again. This week I thought you were just confused about which internet connection to get, not confused about which fruit to choose.
Robin: Well, I was just trying to lighten the mood. You guys are a bunch of tech geeks who take things too seriously. It's my duty to keep things lighthearted around here.
