A hippie gag store owner is confronted by the father of a girl who died after taking the store owners LSD. There's a lecture about how bumper stickers are in poor taste, then the jokester is eaten off-page by Smoky the Bear.
Just in case you couldn't tell from the text that Bloch is the world's most angular square, Cold Chills has an afterword where he assures us he's a bit of a roaster himself, but these bumper stickers just go too far.
