Heart of the City by Steenz for September 23, 1999
Transcript:
Heart: Does your Mom know you found "Spock"? Dean: No way! She'd freak! That's why I'm keeping him in this box in the alley. My Mom would never let me touch a stray animal! I guess she's afraid I'll catch AIDS or something. Heart: Well, I suppose it is wise to stay away from the rats and other urban wildlife.
I’m not getting the joke, and the AIDS reference is a little concerning. Better just move on to the next one.
