Definite Overdialoguing Alert on this page, I'm afraid.  At the very least, I should have trimmed back Mindf**k's panel 1 thought balloons quite a bit, as only the second one is really relevant to this scene.  Still, the character's parenthetical compulsive honesty amuses me to no end, even if there's too damn much of it in this sequence.

Panel 5: How could things "be worse," you might well wonder?  Find out tomorrow, folks!
