#BAOPU15

Four panels of a comic titled '#BAOPU15'. The first panel is titled 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY' and includes only a word-bubble reading 'THANK YOU'. The second panel is titled 'DON'T SAY' and only includes a wavy-lined, 'sad' word-bubble reading 'SORRY'. The third panel shows two people, one sitting and the other rushing up with 'speed puffs' at their feet; the panel is titled 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY' and has the rushing character saying 'THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE', with the sitting character responding 'COOL'. The fourth panel is titled 'DON'T SAY' and has the formerly-rushing character from the third panel standing there saying 'SORRY I'M ALWAYS LATE'. The word-bubble is wavy and 'ALWAYS' is underlined for emphasis. The seated character now says 'WHATEVS' in response. The fifth panel is again entitled 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY' and shows the rushing character from the third and fourth panels sitting and speaking to someone, saying 'THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING ME.' The sixth panel, entitled 'DON'T SAY', shows the same character holding their head and saying 'SORRY I'M NOT MAKING A LOT OF SENSE.' The same wavy-lined 'sad' word-bubble is used here. The seventh panel is again titled 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY' and includes an off-panel speaker saying 'THANK YOU FOR SPENDING TIME WITH ME'. The focus of the panel is a person in a hat and jacket, smiling and responding ''COURSE'. The eighth panel, entitled 'DON'T SAY', shows the same person responding to a wavy-lined bubble saying 'SORRY I'M KIND OF A DRAG.' This time their response is 'AW I'M SORRY'.  The ninth panel is again entitled 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY' and shows two characters sitting in grass. One says to the other 'THANK YOU FOR LISTENING'. The tenth panel, titled 'DON'T SAY', shows the same scene - only this time the speaker is huddled and uses a wavy-lined 'sad bubble' to say 'SORRY I'M JUST RAMBLING'. The eleventh panel is again titled 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY' and includes the speaking figure from the prior panel saying 'THANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING ME.' The twelfth panel, titled 'DON'T SAY', has the same figure using a 'sad bubble' to say 'SORRY I TAKE UP SO MUCH SPACE.' The thirteenth panel is again entitled 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY' and shows a card and flower. The card reads 'THANK YOU FOR HAVING HOPE IN ME THIS WHOLE TIME' and includes a heart. The fourteenth panel, entitled 'DON'T SAY', shows a phone with a text-message bubble reading 'SORRY I'M SUCH A DIS-APPOINTMENT :('. The fifteenth panel reads 'APPRECIATE THE OTHERS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE, WHETHER THEY KNOW IT OR NOT.' It shows a speech-bubble reading 'THANK YOU', which separates the message at the comma. The final panel reads 'DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR SIMPLY EXISTING. BECAUSE IT IS NOT WRONG.' A crumpled-up piece of paper clearly reading 'SORRY' separates the two sentences. At the bottom of the comic, outside the panels, a final line reads: 'IF YOU WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, DON'T SAY SORRY'.
