Transcript For Strip 961

Panel 1
Now Seamus stands at the head table. Antigony remains seated, Johanna remains standing. We see the back of Murphy, and a bit of Nicole as she lays hands on Murphy's arm and shoulder.
Seamus: Be still, my dear Murphy. I know what I'm doing.
Seamus: Yes, I was Theophilus Farnsworth. And Benedito Fernandes, and Stanley Freeman.

Seamus from behind, speaking to the assembly who listen raptly.
Seamus: At 533 Terran years, I am also the oldest living person.
