HE'S DOWN.

THANK YOU, JESUS.

DID YOU TALK TO THE SOCIAL WORKER?

not my beautiful wife

244

YEAH. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE PAYING SOMEONE TO COME SEE IF WE'RE FIT TO RAISE OUR OWN KID, WE SET UP THE HOME STUDY FOR THE DAY AFTER YOUR FOLKS LEAVE.

GREAT. WE'LL ONLY HAVE TO CLEAN ONCE. D'YOU THINK THERE'S TIME TO PAINT?

TONI, GET A GRIP. THEY'LL BE

HERE IN TWO DAYS.

THIS PLACE IS JUST SO SHABBY. IF WE HAVE TO BE GOPLESS LESBIANS, AT LEAST WE COULD LOOK LIKE SUCCESSFUL, ONES.

THE PLACE LOOKS FINE. OR IT WILL AFTER WE PICK UPALL

THIS RAFFI DEBRIS.

MY PARENTS

AREN'T GONNA

BE TOO THRILLED ABOUT

THE NEIGHBORHOOD. EITHER.

HONKY

OH. SO

NOW WE

SHOULD MOVE

TO THE

SUBURBS?

990 31 ALSON BEL HDEL

NO! BUT WE SHOULD REALLY START THINKING ABOUT BUYING A HOUSE, PREFERABLY IN A PART OF TOWN WITH BETTER SCHOOLS.

OH, OKAY! HOW 'BOUT A NICE GATED COMMUNITY? THEN INSTEAD OF BUILDING A VITAL, DIVERSE, URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, WE CAN SPEND OUR TIME SPRAYING PESTICIDES

ON THE LAWN!

A VITAL, DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A NICE THEORY, CLARICE. BUT THE FACT IS, THIS BLOCK IS GETTING DANGEROUS. I'M NOT SACRIFICING RAFF'S SAFETY FOR YOUR POLITICAL PRINCIPLES.

MY PRINCIPLES? WHAT ABOUT OUR PRINCIPLES? PINCH ME!

IT'S JUST A BAD DREAM, RIGHT? I CAN'T REALLY WHAT? BE LEADING SUCH A

PATHETICALLY BOURGEOIS EXISTENCE!

I'M NOT REALLY GOING THROUGH THIS DEMEANING ADOPTION PROCESS, OR [DISCUSSING 'BETTER' NEIGHBORHOODS, OR SPENDING MY VACATION ENTERTAWING MY VIRTUAL IN-LAWS...

YOWCH! OR STEPPING ON GODDAMN LEGOS ALL THE TIME! MO WAS RIGHT! WE'RE NOT CHANGING THE SYSTEM, IT'S CHANGING US!

THEY'RE NOT LEGOS, THEY'RE DUPLOS. AND IF YOU'RE TIRED OF HAVING A FAMILY, GO AHEAD AND LEAVE! GO HAVE A RADICAL, SINGLE LIFE LIKE THE EVER-SO-PRINCIPLED MO!!

ONE FOR STRIPTEASE, PLEASE.
