Everybody should have a 9-foot cucumber

Gee, the quality of editors back then. Bunch of of.

Guess this group is better than what Ray Milland saw in The Lost Weekend.

Steve Dallas was once temporarily turned into a 9-foot cucumber by a little boy who had listened to a few Deathtöngue songs too many for its Satanic lyrics. “Tongue of toad, newt so greeny, turn this dude into zucchini!”

I like how Mr T is part of the hallucination.

I’m glad I don’t have hallucinations like that. But then, I never get into that kind of a stupor, either.

Being around people experiencing drunken hallucinations is NOT fun… usually by the time they hit our Emergency Room (aka “Emergency Department” nowadays), they were in a horrible, horrible state. :-|

The expressions in panel 5 are hilarious.

drunk last night, drunk the night before, gonna get drunk tonight like never drunk before….

In a way, it’s kinda reassuring when your bizarre drunken hallucinations phone the PD to get help for you!

37 tequila fanny-bangers?! Good Lord!…

For those that wonder, there are two common recipes for the Fanny Banger. Number one: 1oz blanco tequila, 1oz vodka, 1oz melon liqueur, 1/2oz cointreau, 1/2 lime juice, shake with ice, strain into a coupe of nick and nora glass. This drink, FWIW, is TERRIBLE. Number two: 1oz reposado tequila, 1oz light rum, 1/2oz cointreau, 1/2 lime juice, 1oz pineapple juice. 1/2oz orgeat. Shake with crushed ice and pour unstrained into a rocks glass. This second option is much, MUCH better.

Was there another one? I remember one where Steve is on the phone saying he downed 37 fanny bangers.

Funniest re-reun of this strip I have seen yet!

Mmmmm – Steve’s paranoid delusion . . . my red hot wet dream! I’m lookin’ at you, strong hot mama!
