OMG, is that LUCY? He is dreaming of Lucy? Oh, so cute!!!!
Charlie Brown is Lemont's fantasy?
Chaya, Darrin's device of having Dr. Noodle transform into Lucy Van Pelt is triply clever! First, Lucy is another "therapist" [at 5 cents a session, much cheaper than Dr, Noodle.] Second, Dr. N's transformation in ITSELF, signals to Lemont that this SESSION is itself a dream, thus turning it into a lucid AND the primary dream of a recursive dream. Third, Lucy's frown indicated that the transformation occurred because, even in the dream, Dr. Noodle is offended that Lemont finds the dream he dreamt he had was more interesting than this "session" with Dr. Noodle, since it's the dream Lemont is actually having! Ermmm, I think… Have I got it, Darrin?
Oh. Thanks for the explanation. I needed that. Sometimes, I am dense. :I)
I'm glad to see you join Stephan Pastis in the referencing-other-comics department. It's hilarious when done well.
Kudos Darrin. Right now everyone in the room is staring at me, wondering why I am laughing so hard at my phone!!
This is one of your best!! Don't ever stop being what you are.
