“This is the psychology hotline. Press 1, 2 and 3 if you have multiple personality disorder. If you’re obsessive-compulsive, press 4. Again…again…again…again…again…again…
I can well believe the Frank/Jen story was abandoned at that point. Take it any further and it wouldn’t be even remotely funny (it was pushing the envelope beyond any defensible definition of decency already).
OK, I know that our sense of humor is largely based on a sense of incongruity, but it needs to be trained by an understanding of what really happens to people when they get into various incongruous situations. And that’s one blue line that a lot of creative people (Jungian ENFPs especially, oddly enough) don’t know how to find and stay behind.
And BTW, this ENFP pleads nolo contendre on that last count.
If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 5.
If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call.
If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.
If you are depressed, it doesn’t matter which number you press. No one will answer.
If you are delusional and occasionally hallucinate, please be aware that the thing you are holding on the side of your head is alive and about to bite off your ear.

I’m guessing Cho got a “cease and desist” command from the syndicate about the Frank storyline~~

These are all reruns. Frank Cho stopped writing the strip almost nine years ago.

@Runar, you forgot:
