4 panel sloppily drawn comic about a little wizard man who makes one spell and then goes back inside to rest. Panel 1: he is in a flowery field. He says ‘let’s do some magic’ panel 2: he waves his wand around and exclaims’ for I am, a wizard!’ Panel 3: he releases a spell from his wand, we’re not even sure what it does. The little wizard goes ‘pew’. Panel 4: he’s back indoors with a cup of tea and his laptop. Satisfied, he says ‘time to rest’
