![Panel one of a four-panel comic called 'A shared experience', consisting of thick black line drawing and hand written text against a grey and white background. Text at the top of the panel says "That morning we had breakfast in a small room." Most of the panel is filled by a crude drawing of the head and shoulders of a young man with short hair, large eyes and a slight smile. A speech bubble from the young man says "could you pass the sugar?"](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/dbaff435-80d6-4556-bab0-224373684016_dissonance+31.jpg?w=1020&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)

The head of a young man with large eyes and glasses floats in the top left corner of the panel. In the lower two thirds of the panel are the head and shoulders of the young man from panel one. Both are looking out at the viewer and have speech bubbles coming from them. The figure with glasses says "sure". The other says "Sausages taste like cardboard."](https://images.prismic.io/wellcomecollection/b384bcb3-4e00-4313-bff3-7bd6b6efc848_dissonance+32.jpg?w=1020&auto=compress%2Cformat&rect=&q=100)
