Today's Doonesbury Cartoon

Bulb dealers have long used food metaphors to sell their wares. But the
catalog being read in the Doonesbury piece seems to be making appeals to yet
another appetite. My, my...

Wow! We're mainstream now.

Thanks, Jay. I looked right over these when I read the paper - maybe because
the version in the Washington Post is black & white and not color.

The one where the bulb was saying "I'm not in Holland anymore, am I?" really
had me laughing. I would swear that some of the northern Indian Arisaema
have done exactly the same thing here: pop up, look around, realize the
horrible mistake, and drop into an irreversible depression forever.
