This is a page from "Alice Grove" web-comic by Jeph Jacques. It occurs near the very end of a story as a transition to a definite conclusion. On this page you can see a woman dressed in white skin-tight suit standing in a nondescript place. Over the course six panels she breaks down in hysterical laughter. Background fades to white while she is laughing. By the end of the page she is out of breath exhausted, standing on her knees trying to catch a break in the middle of nowhere.
I won't give any context for this page because it works perfectly fine without it. This page is very different from everything else in this web-comic. It is completely independent thing-in-itself. It makes a story of its own. The story of a particular moment when the levee breaks and the gut just snaps and it all rushes over. There is no narrative in this story - it merely takes out one particular moment.
Lack of beginning and end makes this page a fine example of Camus existentialist schtick performed in impressionist manner. As middle without proper start or finish - it is rather thought-provoking piece. You don't need the background to get its point. We all had moments like these: when we just break for a moment. And this abrupt moment of rushing into clarity is often cathartic.
