Thank you Alice - says Nick and us - still lots of curls 🥰

Francis Larrigan

You can really feel the nerves and tension from his facial expresdion. Panel 4 almost has an 80s Grang Hill opening credits feel to it.

Merel

I love all the silly facial expressions of the boys in the audience. They do NOT want to be there lol

Jacqui Chesterton

Who's this? 👀 Alice, I love how often I see a new setting and think "hey that's literally exactly how I pictured it"! I know backstage probs looks the same basically everywhere haha - but my immediate thought was that this is exactly what I imagined in Radio Silence!

Justin S.

You got this Charlie!

Jay

Oh gosh. The faces in the crowd are so spot on, like the feeling when you look at a crowd like that before having to do a speech and they just sit like they couldn’t care less to be there. I’m sure Charlie speech will catch their attention ⚠️

shpepanie

Christine Sylvain

He looks so good with his haircut!! But he’s sooo nervous!! You can do it Charlie!!

boombroadcast

Charlie’s haircut looks great! A fresh look for our future Head Boy. ✨ And he looks nervous, but not quite as nervous as he was for the fete. 🤞 (Plus it looks like we’re about to get a little pep talk c/o Nick!) Are we gonna get to meet his opponents? 👀

Chloe ♡

this page reminds me of when charlie was nervous to go on stage at the fete and looked around the curtain and pictured the bullies standing there but this time as much as he seems just as nervous he’s not having negative flashbacks which is a good improvement and i’m proud of him 🫶🏻

Kristen

He will do amazing! The hair cut is perfect and Nick will give him some encouragement before going out there! Plus his support group has grown a ton! ❤️

Sam

Ugh, me too Charlie.

HungriCorgi

the classic Charlie haircut but a very different Charlie I- 😭😭

tilly❤️🍂

awwww, charlie’s gonna slay like he always does xx

Jen

Awe! Can’t wait for Charlie to turn around and see sweet Nick! 🥰

Robert

Really looking forward to Charlie's speech and to see what he has to say.

Lili

He can do it!!!

Noemiette

The moment before going on stage in THE worst. A Nick hug would fix it

Beth

The hair 😭💘 out of interest, why are there no girls in the audience/trying out to be head student if it’s mixed in the sixth form?

Kayleigh Clarke

Let’s gooo Charlie! Love the hair…and it looks like a good luck Nick Nelson hug awaits!

Lotta HR 🩷

GO CHARR U CAN DO IT❤️❤️

Barb

I wanna give Charlie encouraging hug and say "you can do it!", looks like he'd really need one🫂!

Dippity_Dip

SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH

Franny

As I understand it, there are far less girls than boys in the sixth form.

kit

i love the hair!!!

Gregory Toner

I don’t know why … I am hoping the person we see in the foreground watching Charlie is Harry and he gives Charlie a thumbs up… I have no idea why but I really am rooting for Harry’s redemption 😊

Anna Deligio

Go, Charlie! We believe in you! ❤️

Lindsey S

sorry nick but charlie’s hair cut looks sooo good

nico

his hair!!! 🩵

Claire

Like the hair cut. Hopefully the audience end up looking more engaged and supportive as Charlie begins his speech.

moon

seeing charlie being nervous makes me nervous stop 😭😭

S S

He looks so nice and mature with his new haircut 🥺

Olivia

omg love the haircut!!! you got this charlie👏👏

Galen Longstreth

I love Charlie's posture. He could be totally curled in on himself with anxiety, but he's not. He's standing straight, even leaning a bit toward the stage. He's got this!

Katie🐝

Omg I love the haircut!!

Katie🐝

So proud of our boy 😭

Beam Bugge

so many baby boys!! I wonder who that is in the last panel, is it nick? aled? a new guy?

oddtree

Love the haircut. And I assume that's ever-dependable sweet Nick to soothe his anxiety 🥰

witchspring

omg I loved the new haircut SO PROUD OF OUR BOY 🥹♥️

RO

LOVE the hair! He looks so grown up! Amazing how you’ve done the facial features— I always associated short-hair-Charlie with being younger, but even with this haircut I can tell how much older he is!

Evelyn Lorena

HIS HAIRCUT ❤️‍🩹 my beautiful charlie! you got this!!

RCM

I do love the overall “this is really a big deal” aura of this page. Each panel has straight, contiguous borders (with none of our beloved doodles), making us feel the seriousness of the moment (for the candidates anyways!). Then, we have the fluctuations between the big picture of the waiting student body and the zoom in view of how Charlie is feeling. As expected, Charlie looks anxious and nervous (even with his fabulous new hair cut!). I most love the close up of Charlie in panel 2 . Even with the pressure and nerves, only half of Charlie’s face is shadowed. The other remains bright in the light. This feels so symbolic (to me) of how much Charlie has worked to handle hard things. It’s like he is balancing that hard, uncertain, dark emotion provoking things are going to happen, but now he has his own strength, self efficacy, and dreams (the light) to rely on to help him get through. In the past, the dark thoughts took over and everything became shadowy…but not today. Plus, we have the sweetest little lean in from Nick, checking in, reminding us all of the background support Charlie has from his boyfriend, his friends, his rugby mates, his sister and family, and all the young Truham students Charlie is speaking up for. You DO have this, Charlie. Step fully into the light, step up to that podium, and be yourself. It’s your time to shine❤️❤️‍🩹

Ciara

Love his haircut 😍 love the visuals of the younger Truham boys needing a strong figure to lead 😍 love Charlie’s lovely little nervous face and then Nicks head peeking round 😭😍👌 perfection!

Loveislove

Ok - we all know that Charlie successfully becomes Head Boy. Yet here we are feeling tension about what will happen next, filled with anticipation for the next page and longing to soothe and encourage our beloved but fictional characters. What strange magic is this Alice? Maybe your art allows all of our humanity to flow and flourish and connect with each other. What a gift and thank you!!🥰

Nick Jones

Poor Charlie. I know his anxiety; I did Class President one year and this part was terrifying. But, our Charlieboy has plenty of courage (more than I've ever had).

Murgy

I can't be the only one who thinks there are going to be cheers when Charlie steps onto the stage. And the hair looks nice

Scoutadelic

Charlies hair is awesome though. Hope he gets through it!

Scott Whittall

Alice, I cannot wait to read the speech. I know it is going to be both uplifting and somewhat heart wrenching. Charlie is going to do what Charlie does best, speak from his heart. Not sure I’m prepared. It will be momentous for sure. This is how he becomes Head Boy. By being Charlie.

Loveislove

I'm wondering if maybe Nick won't go to Charlie - he is there to do a check-in but Charlie will have the confidence and strength and focus to just step out on the stage. Maybe just wordless, loving eye contact 😍

Jennifer Paddock

First: Go, Charlie! You can dooooooo iiiiiiit!!!! Second: Excellent haircut. He looks so good! And grown up!

milo !

HIS HAIR 🥹🥹🥹 IT LOOKS SO NICe i love RHE LITTLE BITS ON THE BOTTOM

foxesareamazing

I love how this page has no dialogue but so much meaning 🥰

Idaemilie

He look so so good with his new haircut. Love it 🩵 You go Charlie, you can do this !

Blissnfaith

Charlie wearing the jumper rather than the blazer speaks to his need for a bit of comfort today and maybe even to show his audience that he’s approachable in a casual way. Love how he’s focused and leaning a bit towards the stage. He’s almost ready! Maybe one glance at Nick’s 😍 when he senses him there?

Sarah

bb's all grown up 😭

Angelala

Love the new haircut 🤗

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Omg that nerve-wracking anxiety...his hair looks so good!! And look at Nick checking in to make sure his boy is okay!! You're gonna do great, Charlie!!!

cassidy cassidy

I kinda love that Charlie got a haircut right before the big speech. 'Hair holds memories' it's almost, in a way, him letting go of what's happened to him. Not carrying those memories of being bullied or letting them burden him any longer, instead taking and using them as motivation to not let the same thing happen to anyone else. Striving for a safe environment for all where nobody should feel uncomfortable in who they are. Charlie you rockstar!! (Also two of the boys in the crowd kinda look like Christian and Otis.)

David C Witkin

Charlie is all of us in this moment. And Nick is the boyfriend we either all wish we had or all wish we were.

Joni

Charlie is so cute with shorter hair (don’t get me wrong, I love his longer hair, too), but his anxious face here makes me want to hug him ❤️

Beam Bugge

i think his hair is too light for it to be mr farouk! but it could be another teacher maybe

Lainey

Love the haircut!! You got this charlie!!!❤️❤️

Nils

Love his hair. Still his look, but less unruly :) But how cute is Nick, not like the others sitting in the audience, no Nick is backstage, looking probably anxious AND proud at his boyfriend

ucfnurse

I know how you feel Charlie!!☺️😊🫶🏻❤️‍🔥💯🌹📆🧑‍🏫🎓🚌🌼🎊✌️🕊️☮️

K Lyn

I love the haircut 🥹

Katia Gómez
