   A thought I’ve had at times, in my more misanthropic moments, is to go to a psychic store like this and just sit down without saying a single word and be as passively aggressive as possible the entire time just to see what happens.

   “Can I… help you?”, they ask.

   “Hey, you’re the psychic – you should already know if you can help me or not.”

   By the way, if Les can get kicked in the groin again like he did on Monday of this week (02/13/1989), that would be welcome.

    Who would have guessed that a strip featuring a cast of caustic, unlikable, and depressing people could possibly attract caustic, unlikable, and depressing people?

    Tom Batiuk reaps what he sows.
