Conflict Over Appearance and Identity

Mom, please, not again. Please stop.

Hold still. You know I can't leave you like this.

But this is how I look.

Not when people can see you.

I don't wanna be green.

There, much better.

It's coming back.

Let me see.

Don't touch it.

Does it hurt?

No,

but Mom's going to see.

Why can't I just stay like this?

Because Mom's weird.

She says I look wrong.

You don't.

Mom thinks I do.

It's already time again.

That's tonight.

Maybe she'll forget.

She never forgets.

She's getting the spray.

And the shaver.

I don't want her to do it again.

We'll fix those spots tonight.

No, she won't.

I hate being green.

Then don't be.

She's gonna take it off again.

Maybe she won't.

She always does.

There you are.

Can't shave him without this. She's not doing it again.

Where is my shaver?

You're not doing it again.

Fine, then I'll peel it off.
