A BEAUTIFUL FUNERAL--

IN A CIGAR BOX:

NO COMPARISON.

WELL, ANYWAY,

IT'S A CITY--

THE ONLY CITY:

WITH A WORLD'S FAIR.

MY FAVORITE.

THAT SONG.

THE FAIR WON'T OPEN

FOR SEVEN MONTHS.

THAT'S ALL

EVERYBODY SINGS:

OR TALKS ABOUT.

I WISH EVERYBODY

WOULD MEET THERE

AND LEAVE ME ALONE.

HELLO, DEAREST.

DID YOU HAVE:

A NICE DAY?

I LOST THE CASE.

I'M SORRY. YOU WERE

SO SURE YOU'D WIN IT.

I OVERLOOKED:

ONE THING--

THAT JUDGE:

IF LOSING A CASE

DEPRESSES YOU,

WHY DON'T YOU GO

INTO ANOTHER BUSINESS?

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

IN THAT COOL BATHTUB

FOR ONE SOLID HOUR.

BUT THAT'S

IMPOSSIBLE.

DINNER'S

BEING SERVED:

IN FIVE MINUTES.

FIVE MINUTES?
