Clever pun.

He has no response.

After weekends like that, no wonder.

26oz. flu.

See this is the problem. You is up all night wasting time partying and morning you is can no waking ups.

..sleepin’ through da week.. doo-dah doo-dah.. oh doo-dah day..

Friday Night (No) Fever!

Sure, now next week several more people will be sick in bed.

There was a time when on the wee hours of Saturday morning, the Missus and I would close the place down. Now we go to bed while others are just leaving for their night of partying.

I’m not able to party anymore. I prefer sleep.

And the other two in the last panel will relive the rest of the strip next week.

Took me about half a beat. Good one!

I like to lay the blame on Delirium. Which tends to cover up the realization that I passed ‘whatever it is/was’ to so many others and will have to cover for them while they wisely convalesce at home with someone offering the occasional ‘poor baby’.

Week joke today. ;)
