Benny & Sid Presents Chapter 13 of the new serialized graphic novel The Hummer

(Your City, USA) - Try to make somebody happy, and they're never satisfied. Somebody is always looking for the thing you didn't do, and they don't see the things you did do.

I mean you don't expect to get a cookie every time you make your bed, but for pity sake don't criticize a guy if he happens to leave his shirt tail untucked. People start pushing too hard and that's when you start looking other places to be and other things to do.

As your mother used to say, "You don't need a brick dropped on your head to know that you're not wanted." But your mother always wanted you. You could always depend on that.

Daniel: Right you are! I'll get it right yet with the help of my friends.

God, I hope so. My drug intake has increased geometrically due to the nearly unbearable stress contained in this adventure. Noam Chomsky and I were talking it over just today. His intake has also dramatically increased. The licorice pistol factory in Weedpatch was indeed found to be rife with hallucinagenics,which is a very difficult word, I'm just finishg my second revolver and I can only tell you I'd like to stop the bus for some potato chips.,but I'll stick with it till the end no matter. This is all about "True Grit" or I'm not a registered Independent!

Daniel: Margret, right! I'll correct it when I do the paper comic.

Osotan: We're getting near the end is all I can say.

Glen: Don't forget the hyphen. It's Ann-Margret .

Glen: FYI--If you're referring to the actress, it's Ann-Margret!
I'm reminded of a Frank and Earnest comic from years ago. A man is sitting on a park bench when a second man, holding a hot dog sits down beside him. The second man says: "Would you like a bite of my hot dog?" The first man says, "No, thanks. I'm a vegetarian." The second man pauses, then looks at the first man and says: "You speak very good English."

Glen, this one really got to me. No wonder Hummer's so catastrophically fornicated! He doesen't know the answer to the eternal loop., "who am I"? I feel bad enough to twist one up and just think about it, the spider spins a new web and Hummer's showin' signs of the "mind meltdown" syndrome. I hope they meet up with Dr. Leveque soon!
