8 panel Sunday strip
Panel 1 (heading): Title, plus Opus trotting across the panel, mug in hand, singing "Tum dee dum dum"
Panel 2: Setting (Opus walking past doorway to living room. the iving room has a free-standing mirror (we see the back of it -- it's purple with an orange flower painted on the back) and a photo of Hillary Clinton (a real photo) on the wall, with a big smile (laugh?)
Opus (in mid-stride, head swivels towards the mirror): "Whoa. hello."
Panel 3:
Opus (in front of mirror): "Where's my waist? That's not my waist. Those are legs? Those aren't legs, they're hockey pucks. Whoa whoa whoa..."
Panel 4:
Opus (crazy expression, squished right up to mirror, fingers mussing through hair on head, trying to see in the mirror): "Where's all my hair?! Why should I lose my hair?? Tom Cruise doesn't lose his hair!"
Panel 5:
Opus (Even crazier expression and voice, mug dropped on floor): "I AM NOT JOINING SCIENTOLOGY JUST TO KEEP FULL HAIRFULNESS!"
Panel 6:
Opus (Still crazier, face turning beet red, looking *down* at mirror that has been knocked on the floor.): "THAT'S A NOSE?! LOOKS LIKE A LOAF OF CHALLAH BREAD!"
Binkley (beside Opus, yelling to off-panel): "CODE RED!! GET THE CRASH CART!"
Panel 7:
Oliver, Milo, and Binkley carrrying Opus above their heads, Opus's face totally red now)
Opus: "SSKKTCKK...!"
Binkley: "Prep the Emergency room!!"
Panel 8:
Out in a green field, mountains in the distance, butterfly and birds in the air.
A wooden sign saying 'EMERGENCIES" is stuck in the ground with an arrow pointing to the right, where Opus is lying among dandelions (both blooming and blown), with what appears to be a Starbuck's frappucino hanging upside down from an IV stand, dripping into his mouth.
Opus (thinking): "Boy, them body image seizures just sneak up on ya."
