Management Pt. 2

I was barely able to drag myself over to the computer to finish this. The flu is going on day five as of this Friday (It started Sunday night). My fever broke Thursday morning, but I'm still really sick. My work is going to hate that I'm out this long, but in the interest of my health (that is to say, my interest as they don't have any) they can like it or lump it! And knowing my managers, they're all summarily lumping my absence as we speak.

The Flu

Last night I fever dreamed that my flu symptoms were U-shaped. What does that even mean? I couldn't tell you. Somewhere in my overheated brain meats it made sense, and so for 12 straight hours of fitful sleep I traced these U's in my mind. I don't know why fever dreams are so monotonous. It's like being stuck on the same scene in a dvd, which is played over and over. And not just any scene. I'm talking Pod Racing ala Star Wars Episode 1, or highlights from Water World.

Anyway, I just had a coughing fit and almost passed out. Horatio Algiers is postponed until Friday. If I'm not able to get to it I'll be sure to update you! I profusely apologize. Feel free to read past strips over again. It's rerun time.

Management

If you think about it, being stared at by management for long periods of time is probably sexual harassment. Who knows what's going on in their heads. They're probably undressing us with their eyes.

Charles Darwin Vs. Ron Jeremiah

I could have had a go at any politician aspiring for the presidency. Of course I'd have had to change the text substantially. I choose to think this one was a tad more difficult, and rewarding.

We Are In Your Postal Facility Reading Your Magazines

I'd like to think Mr. "Jeremiah" would be good natured enough not to balk at being represented in comic form. I know for a fact Charles Darwin is tickled pink. Well... maybe not pink. Probably more like bleached white and wormy. I hope many young, fragile-minded, young-men and women stumbled on this strip hoping to see naughty bits, only to discover the only thing naughty going on is my cheeky sense of humor.

Beating the Habit

Horatio Algiers, now in a new, more compact size. Better? Worse? Let me know!

Terrorism 3

What would Freud say about THIS strip? Long, erect strings attached to balding kites. I'll tell you what he'd say. He'd say, "sometimes a kite with a cheap toupee is just a kite with a cheap toupee."

Terrorism 2

Several people have commented that cocaine doesn't, in fact, give you hallucinations. My answer is, maybe you didn't get them but I sure as hell did. That is to say, I would have... If I had had some... Which I didn't... Okay, fine! It was in my nose, but I didn't inhale.

Working on it...

My power finally came on, and a few days later my dog ran away. So I've devoted my free time to looking for him, setting up fliers and checking out animal shelters. Expect a new Horatio by Wednesday the 3rd of 2008.

Power out in OKC

Sorry folks. My power went out and I wasn't able to finish Horatio Algiers for tomorrow. I'll try to have it up asap. I'm writing this from a wifi at a cigar bar down here in OKC. Wish me luck, and may your days be filled with laughter despite the absence of HA. Feel free to reread the story from the beginning and consider it a rerun week.
