C'est la Guerre
Is STRESS BRINGING OUT THE BEST
OR THE WORST
mo's BECOMING MORE LIKE SHE IS.
YOU KNOW, EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE GOING FINE I TEND TO
BE SOMEWHAT ANXIOUS...
MADWMMW
IN OUR
BOOKS
STOUTHEARTED
WOMEN?
NO.
REALLY?
Distress
HOUSE
SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN MY WORST FEARS BECOME A FACT OF EVERYDAY LIFE? PARANOIA'S THE ONLY SANE RESPONSE!
THE THINGS I USED TO WORRY ABOUT SEEM SO QUAINT NOW."AM I SAVING ENOUGH FOR RETIREMENT? SHOULD I QUIT MY JOB TO GO TO LIBRARY SCHOOL? HAS SOMEONE SNEEZED IN THE BULK TOFU BUCKET?" I MEAN, WHAT DOES IT MATTER WITH THE FUTURE SO UNCERTAIN!
QUIT YOUR WHAT?
PERHAPS THE FUTURE IS EVEN
MORE UNCERTAIN THAN I THOUGHT.
CLARICE IS BECOMING MORE LIKE SHE USED TO BE.
I KNOW IT'S A SCARY TIME, BUT IT'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO RE-EVALUATE OUR PRIORITIES, TO LIVE MORE FULLY! WE CAN LET FEAR AND DESPAIR SHUT US DOWN, OR WE CAN DO WHAT WE CAN TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER!
©2001 by Alison Bechdel
I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU SAY SO. YOU'VE BEEN SO DOWN FOR MONTHS NOW, I WAS GETTING WORRIED. I GUESS ADVERSITY CAN REALLY GALVANIZE SOME PEOPLE.
ADVERSITY AND 150 MILLI GRAMS OF EFFEXOR.

ADJOURNS
IN ANTHRAX

IN SUCH CONDITION THERE IS NO PLACE FOR INDUSTRY, BECAUSE THE FRUIT THEREOF IS UNCERTAIN: AND CONSEQUENTLY NO CULTURE OF THE EARTH; NO NAVIGATION, NOR USE OF THE COMMODITIES THAT MAY BE IMPOR TED BY SEA; NO COMMODIOUS BUILDING;.

YIKES!
...NO ARTS; NO LETTERS; NO SOCIETY: AND WHICH IS WORST OF ALL, CONTINUAL FEAR, AND DANGER OF VIOLENT DEATH; AND THE LIFE OF MAN, SOLITARY, POOR, NASTY, BRUTISH, AND SHORT."
GINGER HAS REGRESSED SADLY.
LET'S DO THIS EVERY DAY.
