    As one who has “helped” you clean your house before—i.e., put things in piles while you griped and complained and offered unrealistic reasons why you couldn’t throw anything away—I am happy to see that things have not changed much. Especially the arm hair.

    What about all the old mail? It’s already a malevolent force: it tries to trip and kill you on your way up the stairs.

    that old mail stack leaps beyond my old-tyme stacks! BTW, that last panel is one of my alltime favorites. brilliant!

    I have vanquished all old mail! Mail is now dealt with on a daily basis. Bills are paid immediately, and there are no exceptions!

    And, I’m either going to have a winter-time yard sale, or everybody’s getting crazy presents. All I’m sayin’. I’m going the “Real Simple” route!

    Oh man! Well, before you throw out those New Yorkers, don’t forget to read the classic John Updike story “A Wealthy Young Man Has Sex and Then an Epiphany.” It’s in every issue.

    Now I know why you just asked for my address. You’re going to send me box of arm hair. Neat.

    Here’s a suggestion for the coat hangers. One of my favorite sculptures at the Hirshhorn Gallery.

    Prof’s comment made me laught out loud. Reminds me of a short, short story a friend of mine wrote as a tribute to Raymond Carver. The plot was a husband and wife grunt at each other then go out for dinner.

    i love how you’re choking on poloroids in the last panel!!

    and i think that the arm hair and tube soxx are trying to form together to make some kind of bigfoot version of a sock monkey.

    heh, I didn’t see it as him choking on the pic, but that they were spewing forth from his mouth…
