Credit goes to forworse (here) and howtheduck (here) for inspiring today's strip. Oh, and there's also an eighties-music reference in there. :)

They already had lights that attach to chairs back in 1979 so John is kinda out of it; he's even out of it enough to not know immediately that he can turn to Jenny, Jenny, 867-5309.

Speaking of horrors... :)
I'll bet she says that to all the dentists.
(And if you guess the song I'm referencing here, you know TOO MUCH MOR/Adult Contemporary for your own good. I just heard the song once, have had it stuck in my head for nearly twenty years...)
