Seriously... WTF?! :-D

When cartoons go weird, they do very, VERY weird!

Damn, that crap looks like the sort of dream *I* would have. o_O

I think the tag "Verdict: Creepy" sums it up pretty well.

Dude, you have to stop eating spicy foods 1 hour before bed. No curries 
for you!

Of course, there's always slow wave. A comic based on real dreams:

Those are great!  I wish they had an RSS feed, as I will not remember to 
go back and check it out each week.  :(

Did you see the earlier comics leading into this one? (Apparently all 
the comic characters now have Twitter accounts... WTF? Anyway, Hanna's 
had some tabier pictures. Damn, these creatures actually exist!)

But... I never eat spicy food? o_O

I *do* however eat a lot of cheese.

And more to the point, I was tortured to the point of near-suicidal 
depression as a child...

OH DEAR GOD!! O_O

*runs away*

Oh, I do... to the point where jalapeņos are tame. I look for 
habanero-based sauces.

Mmmm.. What kinds?

Yeah, that might have something to do with it. Just a little.

Heh. It's a new favorite of mine...

FWIW, I generally have rather pleasant dreams. Sometimes they get 
surreal. I *really* like the surreal ones.

Cheddar. Occasionally Edam.

Oh, and in Switzerland apparently they have something called "fondoo"...

Heck, what am I talking about my childhood for? I'm not exactly happy 
*now* either! :-S

Mine usually either involve large amounts of physical pain, or else 
they're just psychologically disturbing...

Eh, I doubt it's THAT bad.

Well... I'm not suicidal any more. I guess that counts as improvement. :-}

Exactly :) AND you have a community that cares about you. Granted 
they're on the intratubes ...

Hmm... A community that cares about me? Or just finds me amusing to poke 
fun at? I'm never quite sure...

Most of my dreams are more interesting than my real life, which makes it
*really* hard to get motivation to get out of bed in the morning.

   The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
   see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.
