He needs to be picked up.

My eyes can’t look that way!

I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my

Help!

I’m stuck on a cliche comic strip island in another strip.

I was talking to my friend about my addiction to collecting Beatle albums, he told me I needed help, I told him I got that one already.

Not everyone can see inside themselves like this.

Most people are not so transparent.

I think anyone can see what he needs, he’s pretty clear about it

It’s never a good idea to seek help from inside a bottle.

Don’t keep everything bottled up, or you might pop your cork.

_See that boy over there, runnin’ scared

his ol’ man got a problem and it’s a bad one

Pawned off durn near everything, his ol’

woman’s weddin’ ring for a bottle.

And don’t you think it’s a crime

when time after time, people in the bottle._

-Gil Scott-Heron

The trick, like most of life, is to maintain a positive attitude (and bouyancy).

That’s very deep, my ancient mariner.

Help! I need some body. Help!
