While depicting a common pair of young adults. Handelsman uses bright colors and common clothes to make the young adults look like average people. The two young adults, one male and one female, are walking down a white sidewalk as both are focused on their cell phones. This represents how society is relying more and more on technology as a form of communication. The speech bubble that is above the male says, “Says here you can’t trust anything on Facebook!” which is an observation from the male that he is sharing with the female. The female’s response, as she does not bother to look up from her cell phone is, “You deleting your account?” shows that she has little concern about the topic. Handelsman creates dialogue that is in short and incomplete sentences to depict the way that young adults talk to one another. In the next frame the male states, “No, I’m posting it on Facebook…” this draws the full attention of the female as she faces the male and has a questionable expression on her face. This expresses how some young adults contradict themselves and rely on social media as a way of not only daily information, but news sources as well. The look on the female’s face is somewhat one of question as well as a look of disgust because she realizes the contradiction that the male is saying before he even realizes it
