Larry wishes Perry’s inner struggle would eat its donut and go home, and he really wishes he had gone to Starbuck’s instead of the Ballard Stardust Diner and Pot Shop.
It’s all gonna be okay, Perry. The nice men in white are on their way to accompany you to a lovely, peaceful place where you can have all the donuts you want. And you won’t even have to SEE a tie, let alone wear one.
Ah yes…. the inner struggle going public…One of the basic fears of mankind.Like public speaking…or that dream you had last week…the one where you were on the bus, and realised you were naked.
We all do our best to hide the crazy…
And when we can’t do it, when we have to give up and let it show…. Ballard Street is a relief and a refuge….a place where it usually just blends right in.Yeah… Perry went a bit over the top…but next time he walks into that diner…the waitress will just smile and say “Coffee and a number 5, over easy, right?”
Perry is simply exhibiting symptoms of Frenetic Friday
The ugly truth about the amount of unfinished work piled on his desk awaiting his attention, finally got to his inner-consciousness.
He feels doomed, before he even sets foot in the office.
Being a man of principle and ( normally ) staid demeanor, he usually doesn’t allow himself to breakdown in public, preferring the safety and solitude of his sound proofed sauna.
But today he couldn’t help it. The sight of the pink frosted doughnut just set him off. He’d ordered plain glazed doughnut and got a pastel pink pastry instead. Everyone know that the putrid pink clashes with his yukon yellow tie !
I suggest that he call in sick to work and quickly consult Dr. Fenton at the Tiki, who I am sure will be able to concoct a remedy to sooth Perry’s inner struggles.

He can’t win and he won’t lose. It’s a tie.

Being named Perry, hating neckties, and having an older brother named Larry,(for real), I love this comic and the comments. Made my morning!

Perhaps this inner struggle has something to do with his full name: Perry Winkle…

Maybe THAT’s why my co-workers don’t like to go out with me for coffee.
