Some comics feel like they belong to a much larger story, even when we only get to see one quiet, carefully chosen moment. That’s exactly the feeling behind Jordan Bolton’s comic series “Scenes From Imagined Films,” where each piece reads like a still from a movie that exists only in the artist’s mind.
Bored Panda has previously featured Bolton’s imagined film scenes, and this new selection continues that same cinematic idea. His comics evoke sensations of long-lost memories and catharsis in an emotional situation one might have lived through, giving readers just enough context to imagine the characters, the conflict, and everything that might have happened before or after the scene.
Take a look at more of Bolton’s “Scenes From Imagined Films” below, and don’t forget to upvote the ones that make you want to know the rest of the story.

“To The Bus Driver”
I always greeted my bus drivers warmly when I boarded, and thanked them when I debarked. One was a DJ with his son, doing gigs each weekend. One was a retired school teacher. She taught for 30 years and was now driving a bus because she didn't want to retire and stay home all day. One was a nursing student working her way through school. One had driven a bus for nearly 40 years. He got the job out of high school and it was the only job he had ever had. Before anyone scolds me for speaking to the driver and distracting them, there are many opportunities to talk to drivers other than when they are driving. Often these conversations occurred at the transit terminal on my uni's campus.
