IN THE OLD DAYS, LIKE MANY OF YOU (I SUPPOSE), I WAS A GOOD ORAL-TYPE PERSON.
YOU OPEN THE REFRIGERATOR AND YOU CAN'T STUFF YOUR MOUTH FAST ENOUGH !
EVERYTHING TURNS YOU ON. THE STIMULUS AROUSES THE RESPONSE.

HERE IS A REAL SOUR PICKLE
TO GO WITH SOMETHING
I'LL HAVE A LITTLE OF THAT !
& THERE'S SOME ICE CREAM
UMMMM... MMMM...
THERE'S SOME COLE SLAW
THAT'LL BE GOOD WITH THE ICE CREAM

OH BOY !
IT'S TOO MUCH !
UMMMMMHHHHH !
HAVE A TASTE
OF FLOWER

YOU CAN GO ON THE ORAL TRIP ABOUT EVERY-THING I COME RIGHT OUT OF THAT TRADITION. I WANT YOU TO KNOW

THE ORAL TRIP WITH A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF EMPATHY
