Page description:
Charlie now out of bed, goes into the bathroom, and begins to brush his teeth as a figure behind him peers in and ask hello. It is revealed to be Ashley and she is dressed up nicely. She seems surprised it's Charlie, but asks him if he noticed Nick awake yet. As he shrugs, he then looks at the toothbrush, wondering why he is brushing his teeth…

Writer/Creator Commentary:
Originally, Charlie sat in his bed, depressed, but Matt felt and surprised me, by adding this bit in with the toothbrush, it gave him a challenge but it also gave Charlie something to do. This whole issue is one big sad sack of depression and tears, and adding a joke wouldn't hurt. Also it was a lot more interesting to show him doing something then sitting in a bed. And looking back, I agree. That's the fun thing is that when I write these, I write these for myself in a way, as I know that I wouldn't be able to draw that and make it work, so I dumb myself down in that degree….

enjoy!
