HAVING A LITTLE HOLIDAY CHEER WITH SYDNEY'S FATHER AND STEPMOTHER.

I GOT YOUR MESSAGE! IS DIGGER, OKAY?

Welcome to

THE TORONTO COLONY HOTEL

I DON'T KNOW WHY HARVARD TURNED YOUR BOOK DOWN, SYD. I SPOKE TO MY EDITOR THERE ABOUT IT.

DAD, IT'S MORE COMPETITIVE NOW. NOT LIKE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG AND ANY HALF-WIT COULD GET HIS DISSERTATION PUBLISHED.

YEAH, EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL. SHE WAS LIMPING WHEN I GOT HOME, SO I TOOK HER TO THE VET. THEY SAID SHE HAS RHEUMATISM AND TO GIVE HER IBUPROFEN.

SYDNEY, YOU DIDN'T FAWN OVER PAUL'S OBSCENELY EXPENSIVE NEW SWEATER.

GINGER, RELAX! I CANCELLED MY PLANS TO GO TO MY FOLKS SO I CAN STAY WITH HER ALL WEEKEND.

NICE! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A CASHMERE TURTLENECK.

HEY, NO PROBLEM, BELIEVE ME. I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE.

OKAY. WAIT A SEC.

I'LL GET YOU ONE TOMORROW. JENNIFER ALREADY THINKS I SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY. A LITTLE MORE WON'T HURT.

HEY, ONE OF MY CREDIT CARDS RAISED MY LIMIT ANOTHER THOU! LET'S GO CHECK OUT THE NEW SKI EQUIPMENT, TOO.

SHE WANTS TO TALK

TO YOU.

STOMP STOMP

GIGGLE.

SYDNEY! YOU

CAN'T JUST BUY STUFF UNTIL YOU MAX OUT YOUR CREDIT! THAT'S INSANE!

AND LET'S GO BY GIZMO WORLD. I NEED A NEW PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT.

YOU SHOULD BE GLAD YOU TWO CAN'T GET MARRIED.

GREAT! WHEN SHE CRASHES AND

BURNS, YOU WON'T BE LIABLE FOR HER DEBT.

HEY, GINGER! SOUNDS LIKE SPARROW'S HOME. AND I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE THE MYSTERY DATE IN TOW.

REALLY?

WHO IS IT? WHAT'S SHE LOOK

LIKE?

UH... KINDA LIKE RICHARD DREYFUSS IN "JAWS, ONLY BALDER.

LOIS!

WHAT ARE YOU

DOING HERE?

URF!

HONESTLY ETHEL by John D. Anderson

HI! I NEED A BIKE

FOR THE AIDS RIDE.

OKAY, HERE WE HAVE OUR TOPOF-THE-LINE MOUNTAIN BIKE WITH QUICK-RELEASE TIRES, ADVANCED BRAKING SYSTEM, AND LIGHT-WEIGHT ALLOY FRAME.

OOOH! HOW 'BOUT THIS ONE! DO YOU THINK I COULD GET DOWN THE COAST ALL RIGHT ON THIS?

ON THAT YOU WON'T EVEN GET DOWN THE STREET.
