Dedicated to those who have succumbed to the evils of cold and flu season...

I am one of those who has succumbed to the evils of cold and flu season.

Thankfully, it's just been nasal congestion and post-nasal drip...mild compared to what I could really get.

I came across this old Opus comic strip tonight and thought I would share it with you. It really speaks to our national dependency on medicine, prescription and otherwise.

Ahh, Opus...you always had a way of commenting on our national travails. I miss you so.

***Special thanks to Salon.com for the archived comic.***

***UPDATE: Here's the link to the Salon.com archives. You can't really see it too well on the blog. I'm still trying to figure out the "click to enlarge" thing.***
