Then they came for the nosy, meddling brunettes, but I was not a nosy, meddling brunette, so I did not speak out.
Ooooh, wow

Hi and Lois, 11/7/04
The list of comics strips that have not used drug lingo is a bit shorter today. I have to admit that Hi and Lois’ place on that list, just above Hagar the Horrible and just below Family Circus, always seemed pretty secure to me, but apparently I was wrong about the extent to which drug culture has infiltrated the funny pages. For the record, the word that’s really alarmed me here is “peaking.” All the other stuff could be derived third-hand from bad movies like Flashback, but “peaking” … it arouses suspicions. I’m just saying.
(Note to my mom: I only learned about the word “peaking” from other kids myself, not from personal experience. Really. Winners don’t use drugs. I’m my own person!)
Pun alert!

I would just like to point out that the soul who, up until mere moments before the action in this strip, was resting under the stone angel in the first panel was named Moira Less. Get it? It’s like “more or less.” Get it? Get it?
The guy in the mausoleum next door is named Uriah Pert; I’ve been staring at that for ten minutes, and I have to admit that I don’t get it. Please explain it to me, somebody. I do appreciate that ol’ Uriah had a big dollar sign put on his gravestone. Me, I’m going to put all kinds of freaky Masonic symbols and stuff on mine, so that someday some pot-addled teenaged conspiracy buffs will stumble upon it and it’ll blow their little minds.
