This page from Young Avengers cropped up randomly in my feed and I *love* that I knew *exactly* where this was taking place – like, literally what coffeeshop they're sitting in. (art credit: @mckelvie.bsky.social)

A page from Young Avengers showing Teddy (AKA Hulkling) holding a mug of coffee with both hands, talking with an unknown woman (Loki; it'sKid Loki's subconscious manifesting as Leah, y'all) in green who's mostly off camera but stirring a milkshake.

Text reads:

AUSTIN, TEXAS

Teddy: "I've left him."
Teddy: "I mean, I haven't LEFT him. I'm just away from him. It's the only way to know."

Teddy: "I wish it wasn't."

Teddy: "I'm not sure about the help group. I mean, I can't believe there's one for people like me"
Leah: You'd be surprised. This lifestyle... it leaves casualties adn causes harm.

You're almost lucky."

Leah: "You're just concerned. You're not bitter."

Refilling my tank today and remembering reading this all those years ago...

A Bloom County comic from the mid-80s, showing Opus the Penguin gasing up his car and watching another motorist lose his mind over gas being 69.9 cents. Text reads:

Motorist "699C A GALLON:
69.9c A GALLON!
IT'S GREAT !
IT'S GREAT!

Opus: Uh oh, another case of consumer-feeding frenzy

Motorist: ATTENDANT! GINE ME 30 GALLONS! NO GAVE ME 90
GALLONS!
HECK... FILL UP THE
TRUNK!!

Motorist: LOUISE.. HOW SHAMEFULLY LOW 15 THE GAS MILEAGE
ON OUR NEW DELUXE
CHRYSLER LeBehemothy
3 MPG?

Louise: 1.9

Motorist: 1.9! НА! IL
DRIVE TO PERU!
нА! АТ
90 MPH! ...WITH LOTS OF SUDDEN STARTS AND
STOPS!
IT'S STILL
CHEAP!

Motorist: IT'S CHEAPER THAN WINDEX
IT'S CHEAPER THAN "TY-D-BOWL"!
IT'S CHEAPER THAN COLOGNE!..
WHY, WE'LL USE IT FOR EVERY-
THING!!

Opus: Oh, methinks this doesn't bode well...

Motorist: LOUISE, DUMP THE MILK! THE CAT DRINKS UNLEADED FROM NOW ON!
