SHORTLY...

AND TONIGHT'S SOUP IS A LICHEE NUT CHOWDER WITH PICKLED SEA VEGETABLES. CAN I GET YOU A DRINK WHILE YOU'RE DECIDING? NOTHING

COMMUTE. TEACH. SIT IN DEPART MENT MEETINGS. GRADE PAPERS. COMMUTE AGAIN. GRADE MORE PAPERS. WHEN DO I HAVE TIME TO MEET ANYONE?

AND EVEN ASSUMING THERE'S ANYONE LEFT TO MEET, LOOK AT ME, LOIS! I GET MORE HAGGARD EVERY DAY! I'M ON A HOPELESS DOWNWARD SPIRAL, DOOMED TO SLOG THROUGH LIFE ALONE AND DIE A SPINSTER!

SO YOU'VE

GIVEN UP ON THE

ALLURING

CLARICE?

GOD, HOW CLASSIC IS THAT, PINING AFTER A MARRIED WOMAN? I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH AN AVAILABLE PERSON IF SHE FELL INTO MY SOUP.

HERE'S A SHOT OF BEET-GINGER JUICE ON THE HOUSE. YOU LOOK

LIKE YOU COULD USE SOME CHEERING UP.

UH...

THANKS.
