OH, SHIT. LOOK, FORGET IT. I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST NEUROTICALLY SHY. I GUESS I'M THE DENSE ONE.

AFTER

FFTER AN EVENING OF EXPERIMENTAL

LESBIAN FILM, MO AND DEIRDRE'S QUASI-DATE CONTINUES

OVER COFFEE.

NO, YOU'RE NOT! IT'S ME. I'M DENSE! DENSE AND NEUROTIC!

I DIDN'T QUITE GET WHY THEY KEPT INTERCUTTING THE SEX SCENE WITH THAT FOOTAGE OF CHERNOBYL AFTER THE ACCIDENT, BUT IT WAS STILL PRETTY HOT.

JAVA JONES

UH... DOESN'T

THAT STUFF KEEP YOU AWAKE?

THIS? I GUESS.

BUT I'M NOT PLANNING ON GOING TO SLEEP ANYTIME SOON.

UH... LET'S GO EFTSOONS, AT MO'S BACHELOR DIGS...

SOME PLACE WHERE WE CAN TALK.

... AND IT'S JUST BEEN SO LONG, I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO ACT, Y KNOW? I FEEL SO CONFUSED! IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T FIND YOU ATTRACTIVE, IT'S JUST THAT...

DING

OH. UM... I GUESS YOU PROBABLY DO YOUR WRITING AT NIGHT, HUH?

OH. HUH. SO...

NOT REALLY.

YOU'RE A MORNING PERSON, THEN?

I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A REPUBLICAN, RELIGIOUS RIGHT-BACKED WHITE HOUSE IN 96!

I MEAN, WHILE CLINTON FLOUNDERS AND THE GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT HAS NO DONORS AND NO LEADERS, THE CHRISTIAN COALITION GROWS BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS!

THERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

COFF! SPLUTTERUM...EXCUSE ME?

OKAY, MO. I GIVE UP. IS IT JUST THAT YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED, OR ARE YOU REALLY THIS DENSE?

IN-IN-INTERESTED? UH... LIKE... YOU MEAN, IN YOU? JEEZ, DEIRDRE. I DUNNO. I MEAN, I... I...

THE COUNTRY IS SLIPPING INTO A CONSER-I THINK VATIVE COMA! PEOPLE WOULD RATHER THOSE BASH IMMIGRANTS, BLAME QUEERS, AND ARE LIKE BUILD BIGGER PRISONS THAN FACE THE ALL THE REAL PROBLEMS: THE WIDENING GULF BETWEEN RICH AND POOR! UNTRAMMELED CORPORATE GREED! AND, UH...WAL-MART!

SAME

THING.

CALL ME

WHEN YOU WORK IT ALL OUT,

OKAY?
