Kind of fun to replace the word "Stress" with "Sex" throughout this thing. COPING WITH FAMILY SEX!

"Sex is not a disease. Sex is normal. Sex is a part of our daily lives ..." Heh.

I think M.Wheats is on to something. Or just on something. Neglecting something?

-- Anna G, via Internet

Page Nine, Bottom panel, Dennis asks:


"BUT HOW AM I S'POSED TO
KNOW WHEN YOU MEAN IT?"

That's when you knock him in the face, right? Question answered!

This might be the healthiest Comic with Problems of them all . . . not that that's a particularly rich prize.

"You been makin' mole hills outa Mom's mountains again?" (page 4)

I see now why the Mom puts up with all of Dennis' crap. He's the only one who treats her like a real woman.
