First cold of the season

Okay. It is no fun getting sick and staying home from work. I wish I could say that taking 2 days off because of a head-cold was fun and relaxing but it is hard to enjoy it with this throbbing numb greyness clouding all my thoughts, with my sinuses filled to capacity (and often above capacity) with phlegm, and with the utter inability to breath through my useless nose. I was supposed to do a strip about Biden selling out for his political career but really, I couldn't pull that off the way I was feeling this week. So you get this self-portrait. OOH! It's in color though!

After speaking with my wife about the strip earlier this week, it became apparent that the direction we were going to take it may have been funny in conversation with Chris and myself but didn't express any truth specific to the subject of the strip. If we're going to do topical humor, we may need to understand our topic a little better. Either way, I'm completely stuffed up and my body is telling me that it is time to go to bed and sleep through another fitful night attempting to get rest.
