Number four, close on the heals of number three! Carrie's back in the U.S, quickly exhausting her supply of Roman coffee beans. She's back to her routines of jogging and acupuncture, as well as her constant struggle not to drink. She frets over the dryness in L.A, and the possibility of brush fires where she lives. Carrie also worries about her seeming inability to have a girlfriend when her childhood friends are married with high school age children. This daily panel comic serves as a perfect counterpoint to Snakepit's glorification of drinking. It looks a little more like my daily life at least: cats, movies, reading, and wild-life encounters.
