Hey, the Doctor’s got a photo of Bleeb in his office. Nice!

You need those volatile hydrocarbons to dream in color.

That’s kind of weird. Cool. But weird.

Did you quit or were you canned?

And the pseudo-Freud is thinking: “Boy, this guy is a paint in the asset”

A shrink that wears a mohawk haircut … kewl!

Of course you’re happier, you’ve become a dog.

Dalcon’s back, and Bleeb’s wisely keeping his distance.

I dream in color. …meh

… and of course the books of BLEEB and DALCON are required reading for Shrinks.

I never really wondered about this before, but what is it like to not know or see color when dreaming?

I have NO idea if my dreams are in color or black and white. Is weird a color?

Sigmond, do you take food stamps?

We dream in color – but we live in black and white

We dream in color – like a rainbow in the night

We dream of peace, we dream of love, we dream of life!

We dream in color

- M Thomas / M Morgan

What about when you have that orange grove dream?

Bummer….I hate when that happens…

Wow! Besides the actual comic, there is a lot going on today: Bleeb is there in the picture, but does seem to physically be there. Dalcon has returned; he looks threatening, maybe angry that he does not have eyes on Bleeb. Then there is the “Book of Bleeb” and the “Book of Dalcon.” Both are no doubt interesting reading.

Methinks this is not your average, run-of-the-mill shrink.

All my dreams are in color. Many are so realistic that I have a hard time being sure they did not really happen.

Except for the last year, I have a recurring dream that I am married again but the woman is different each time and I never recognize who she is so that is clearly not real.

He’s got a shrink, and Delcon is his therapist.

I see he still gets dressed in the dark. Whack him a good one, Dalcon!!!!!!!!! Very pretty flowers, Bleeb! :)

“…no longer dream in color.”? Hmm maybe you should see the optometrist

Notice how the counselors/therapists in these comics almost always look like Sigmund Freud?
