Last Night's Paper A Comedy in One Act
By Anne Walters

TIME: After school on a Wednesday afternoon

PLACE: Bobby's room

AT RISE: BOBBY and CASEY have just come home from school.
They throw their books down on the floor.

 

BOBBY sits on the bed as CASEY stands before the mirror admiring himself.

BOBBY: (TOSSING PILLOW INTO AIR AND CATCHING IT) Funny you didn't see it. It was right there in the
advertising section.

CASEY: (combing his hair) Well, why would I see it? I never read the paper -- except for the funnies, a-course.

BOBBY: You read the sports page, don't you?
