RAFFI, GO CHANGE YOUR SHIRT. YOU WORE THAT ONE YESTERDAY AND IT'S GOT KETCHUP ON IT.

MEEMA'S WEARING HER

metaphors SAME SHIRT

AS YESTERDAY.

NO, SHE'S... CLARICE! AREN'T YOU MAKING YOUR ORAL ARGUMENT ON THE CANCER CLUSTER CASE TODAY? AGAINST OUR NEIGHBOR, BILL? AT THE STATE SUPREME COURT?!

366

I KNOW. THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE SENATE! IF THEY GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER, ROE V. WADE AND THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE ARE SAFE!

VERMONT SENATOP JEFFORDI LEAVES REPUBLICAN

HUT PARTY, BECOMES!

INDEPENDENT

WHY'M I STILL SO BUMMED OUT?

IT'S THRILLING! AFTER 30 YEARS AS A REPUBLICAN, ONE LONE SENATOR LISTENS TO HIS GUT, MAKES A WRENCHING PERSONAL DECISION AND PUTS A STICK IN THE SPOKES OF DUBYA'S ULTRACONSERVATIVE STEAMROLLER!

STEAMROLLERS DON'T

HAVE

SPOKES.

UM... YEAH.

THEN DON'T YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA...

RAFFI Now!

...TO TAKE

UH... I GUESS

A SHOWER?

So.

OKAY, THAT'S IT. I WANT YOU TO SEE A THER-

APIST AND START TAKING SOME KIND OF ANTIDEPRESSANT.

BUT...

AND DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF THAT PRESI DENT BUSH CRAP. IF THIS DEPRESSION WERE REALLY ABOUT POLITICS, YOU'D BE ON CLOUD NINE RIGHT NOW.

IN HISTORIC MIDSESSION SHIFT,

SEMATE MAJOR-

ITY MOVES TO

DEAS

GOD! I CAN'T GO TO COURT TODAY! I'M NOT THINKING CLEARLY!

SHORTLY...

LOOK, I NEED ANOTHER PARENT, NOT ANOTHER KID. PROMISE ME YOU'LL CALL SOMEONE. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

DON'T MESS WITH

VERMONT

UM... I DUNNO. I GUESS I'M SCARED THAT IF I WANT TO FEEL BETTER, I'LL HAVE TO...YOU KNOW, CHANGE!

CHANGE HOW?

LIKE... LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF IN ORDER TO BE TRUE TO MYSELF I HAVE TO DEFECT FROM THE PARTY AND DECLARE MYSELF AN INDEPENDENT?

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, CLARICE. IF YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE GALA AFFAIR THAT IS OUR RELATIONSHIP, IT HASN'T BEEN MUCH OF A PARTY LATELY.

HONEY, CALM DOWN. YOU'LL FEEL BETTER AFTER A SHOWER.

SWEETIES YOUR GRANOLA'S GETTING SOGGY
