Schizophrenia: When You Can Really Talk To Yourself

There was a sign in a psychologist's office: "Schizophrenics pay double." Or, try this one — "Q: What is the best thing about schizophrenia? A: You're never alone." If bad jokes and rimshots aren't your style, try a pair of panels from "Candorville." For the past two days, the artist/author of "Candorville" — Darrin Bell — has been plumbing The Hillster's psyche. While viewing the latest pair of "Candorville" strips, play Young@Heart's rendition of "Schizophrenia." In the two strips, The Hillster is trying to convince Clyde (C-Dog), who is Candorville's Donkey superdelegate (Remember, this is the comics.) to vote for her, not The Hopester. If this is a (fair & balanced) personality disorder (DSM-IV 295.1), so be it.
