travel struggles (1/2)

#artsky #webcomics #comicart #diarycomics #autobiocomics #comics #kwaiary

drawing a sign on top that says immigration. to the left, someone is putting their passport onto the scanner and the screen goes ding! and shows a checkmark and the words "please move forward". next to that person, in the middle, is kwai who is also scanning her passport. however, the screen this time shows a cross and the words "please go to a counter" with a arrow pointing to the left. there's one more person on the right but they are cut off.

kwai slides her passport through the little opening in the window towards the immigration officer at the counter. She says, "hi! the machine told me to come to the counter?" "here's my passport"

drawing of the immigration officer with a serious face as he says, "this counter is for EU citizens. You are not an EU citizen. Please go to the other counter"

drawing of kwai pulling back her passport and making a very embarrassed/ awkward expression, saying, "oh! sorry! my bad! i didn't know! sorry!"

drawing of the immigration officer and the words above him say no change in facial expression, while the officer says, "i am just kidding. i can help you. Give me your passport."

drawing of kwai with a very confused face and question marks coming out of her head
