IT'S YOUR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

AVAL 231400

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO LUCID. DID YOU KNOW THE O.J. SIMPSON TIUAL IS REALLY AN ELABORATE REPUBLICAN RUSE TO DIVERT OUR ATTENTION! WHILE THEY LEGISLATE US BACK TO THE FEUDAL SYSTEM?!

THEN WHILE WE'RE DISTRACTED TRY. ING TO SURVIVE, THE LUNATIC FRINGE BECOMES THE LUNATIC MAINSTREAM. NAZI SKINHEADS, CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTAUSTS AND GUN FREAKS WILL DRAG US ALL WITH THEM INTO A BRAVE NEW SEVENTH CIRCLE OF HELL!

MAYBE SO. BUT I'M GONNA GO GET YOU A POT OF SLEEPYTIME.

SLEEPYTIME?! WHO CAN SLEEP IN A WORLD FULL OF TEC-9-TOTING TALK RADIO LISTENERS WHO'D BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF AS SOON AS SPIT AT YOU?

I'M GOING ON

AN ESPRESSO FAST. IF TRUTH EXISTS, IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS DEMITASSE!

AEPUBLIKANS PROPOSE

ARVITIZING CONGRESS

I CAN'T

MO! THE BOOKSTORE'S JAMMED, AND THE REP FROM FURRIER, SPROUT & GENOUX IS WAITING TO SEE YOU! YOUR COFFEE BREAK WAS OVER 40 MINUTES AGO!

FACE IT ANY MORE,

LOIS!

FACE WHAT?

ALL DURING THE REAGAN YEARS,

I CONSOLED MYSELF WITH THE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS CONSERVATISM'S LAST GASP... THAT SLOWLY BUT SURELY WE WERE PROGRESSING TOWARD A MORE COMPASSIONATE, EGALITARIAN SOCIETY. BUT I WAS NAIVE.

WELL OKAY. BUT JEZANNA

JUST CALLED FROM THE AIRPORT. SHE'S BACK

FROM HER MOM'S AND SHE'S ON HER WAY TO

THE STORE.

JEZANNA?

NO MORE REGE

FRIDE FOR FOOR

SURGLE MOM

YOUR BOSS? THE ONE WHO LEFT YOU IN CHARGE WHILE SHE WAS AWAY? I BET THIS GOUR-

IVAL

MET COFFEE IS PRETTY PRICEY FOR SOMEONE ON UNEMPLOYMENT.

A DOUBLE ESPRESSO TO Go. UM... DECAF.

AND

A CUP OF

SLEEPY TIME.
